[Elecraft] ECOM scare -- FW: Soldering lesson

[kevinr at coho.net]

I was at a Red Cross headquarters working ECOM when the room filled with 
bystanders.  All of the power supplies were facing the operators while 
their exposed backs were next to the crowd.  I noticed a lot of hand 
jewelry.  I got the most important looking person's attention and 
mentioned how a dead short across 40 amps would effect his hand.  Since 
I had only been there a few minutes he looked at me funny and then at 
the exposed wiring.  Soon afterward there was someone covering them with 
tape.  High amperage DC is very dangerous.  You would need to have a 
finger or hand amputated if your jewelry shorts it out.
