[Amps] Input relay for QSK amp

[Alek Petkovic]

G'day Vic.

The Matsushita/Panasonic relay that Rich Measures used in his QSK 
circuit, published at somis.org, is still available on Ebay. I bought 10 
of them a couple of years ago

Otherwise, Jim, W7RY, uses a small relay in his QSK kit. He laso deals 
on Ebay.

73, Alek.
