[Elecraft] Advice needed on stripping enameled wire

[Robert Tellefsen]

Gary
For over 55 years, I've always cleaned the ends of
enameled wire by scraping with a sharp blade on
my pocket knife.  With practice, it doesn't take
much longer than using the "melt it off" approach,
but it' s always with me, whereever I may be :-)
Good luck and 73
