[Elecraft] Day 1: Fried something already?

[Don Wilhelm]

  Owen,

Glad to hear you were successful.  In the future, the key is to "waste 
the part", it is of much less value than the board.  The one who posted 
the advice to crush the relay with pliers (or whatever works) is "right 
on the money".  Preserve the board at all costs.

73,
