Phil,
I too have had the experience of feeling liquid solder on bare skin, but in a less dramatic part of my body. When I was young and dumb, about 35 years ago, I was attempting a repair of a wire antenna with the broken connection about 6" above eye level. A large drop of solder fell on the inside of my forearm and sizzled as it cooled and hardened--then had to be dug out of burned flesh, I NEVER made that or a similar mistake again, always asking myself, if some solder falls . . . where will it fall? You have quite a gift for teaching an important lesson in a funny and dramatic way. Thanks for making me laugh until my sides hurt. 73, Blair K3YD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
