[Elecraft] Unsoldering

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Ha, ha!!! But the beer was NOT wasted. It was the one sure-fire benefit of
the exercise. 

Removing parts with a solder sucker, especially those with multiple "leads"
(some as many as ten) without destroying either the board or part I find
it's common for a very thin layer of solder to remain after "sucking" the
hole clean. The remaining film of solder is easily broken by wiggling the
part.
