Several years ago, I purchased a WM-2 QRP Wattmeter kit from Oak Hills Research. When I opened the box, I was floored by the smell of cigarette smoke. I thought I would never be able to build (or keep) the kit. I spread all of the contents of the kit, and all of the pages of the manual, out in my basement garage and left it for about a week. When I gathered it all up, I could no longer detect any cigarette smoke smell. I enjoyed building the kit, and use it often to this day. Sometimes, the simplest solution works the best!
