[South Florida DX Association] RE: [VHF] How to get rid of cigarette odor from a Radio equimpent?

[Roger N0VR]

Ed,

After cleaning with alcohol and q-tip swabs to get most of the "gunk" from
accessible areas, I have used a product called "Febreeze" sprayed onto a
q-tip to get around components. Works well and after a couple of weeks,
another application will usually completely eliminate any residual odors. I
wouldn't spray Febreeze on directly. Applying it with the swabs and then
letting the rig dry thoroughly before "smoke-testing".

Good luck!

Roger, N0VR
