Take a small hammer ... drill a hole through the handle at about 1/2 of its
length .. mount it under the relay box with a U-bolt, so it swings freely ..
tie a big long string on it, which you then run into the shack .. relay
sticking? .. Give the string a couple of tugs, so you don't miss that
multiplier!
=];^? Just an idle thought HI HI... but, then sometimes we all have
done some stuff like that, n'est-ce-pas?
