[Elecraft] Q11 Blown

[Don Wilhelm]

Richard,

If you do not have good de-soldering tools, be careful when removing 
components.  There is no sense in removing the component intact.  The 
board is more valuable than any component.
Cut off the leads close to the component body (or crush the component 
with pliers if necessary so you can remove the leads one at a time. 
Clean up the excess solder with solder wick and if solder still remains 
in the holes, heat the solder pad and push the solder out with a wooden 
toothpick.

Happy New Year to everyone.

73,
Don W3FPR
