[Elecraft] OT - SMT breadboarding

[Jack Smith]

BPS makes a small grid prototype board that will mount a variety of SMT 
parts - one board accommodates different size parts.

Mouser carries it, and I imagine DigiKey and others as well.

It's tedious to use, but what isn't when prototyping with small SMT parts.
