Well, I'm perplexed. My braid connections are not rigid, I used a small

know what....
Hi Pete,
I mounted my relays two different ways: 1) suspended in a hole slightly
larger than the relay by three dollops of silicone sealer (the method
Rich recommends) and held in a slightly larger hole by three pieces of
rubber strip supplied by K4MSG, from whom I bought the relays. I've
used both RJ1A's and HC-1's. Connections are made by strips of copper
foil about 3/32" (2.4mm) wide and 0.005" (0.13mm) thick (I got the foil
at a hobby shop). The strips are bent in little loops so they are flexible.
I can't hear them over the blowers, so maybe I COULD hear them if the
blowers weren't operating, but they're still very quiet.
