[Elecraft] OT Relays with diodes built in (inductive kick)

A "catcha" to be aware of if you are building kit that uses DIL plugin relays.
Some of these relays have diodes already fitted internally across the coil.
I have built a couple of projects on PCB's, and wondered why the relay would not operate.
Reversing the coil connections got things working.
