I was putting together a kit this evening (non Elecraft) and discovered I
was using the wrong instruction sheet version to the parts and board I was
using.  (Always check your parts before beginning - which I did not)  I had
to putt about 10 resistors of the board.  They are plated through holes.  I
did not have a vacuum desoldering station...so I have to think of
somethingto get the solder out of the holes.  A small drill?  Anyone has
some comments?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you
don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't
find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.
Is Common Sense divine?
