[PVRCNC] Re: [PVRC] Desoldering printed circuit boards

[Jim Jordan K4QPL]

Thanks to tons of people for all the great ideas on this. I'm gonna get in
the workshop and test them out and I'll report back on the results. Boy, is
there ANYTHING that this group doesn't know how to resolve??

(errr.... rx overload/key clix...?...       ;^)

73,

Jim
