The instructions on page 49 instruct us to use a six inch length of green hookup wire and remove the insulation. The board is shown mounted perpendicular to the RF board using the bare wire in figure 6-14a. The only fly-in-the-ointment I had to troubleshoot in building #4962 is that one of the wires was touching C87 - and that potential problem is mentioned in the instructions.
