[Elecraft] Stop the skidding

2008-07-01 Thread WN3R, Dick
The very best material for stopping anything from skidding on the radio desk is shelf liner. It seems to be made of a soft rubbery material that has a cross hatch pattern with holes in it. It's very easy to cut with office size scissors. I use it primarily for keys and paddles. Comes in colors a
