[Elecraft] Please help me with my T1

[Eric Champine]

Hey Mike.
It is good to see that I am not crazy :-)
Taking off the 3.5' of solder did help a lot but it was not as easy to
solder as the other parts I installed. It may have something to do with the
process if installing the SMDs that change things a bit but it was defiantly
a bit more challenging to do. I have never ran in to that before. Thanks for
the info. I am almost done with the T1 now so I think if it is nice Sunday I
may go try it out. Have a good weekend.
