[VHFcontesting] water damage

[KA2AEV at aol.com]

Im not so sure about sticking a radio into any type of oven for  drying
You may be opening yourself up to a bunch of trouble if the heat setting is 
off, you forget about the radio or any other bunch of senarios occur
I think Air drying would be the way to go
Even if it has to sit a few days or a week!

John,

Sorry.

I have seen similar.  My elmer (K2CBA)  would use a solvent and soap/water to 
clean dirty electronics stuff but alow  it to dry completely - days worth of 
drying or longer (I don't remember if he  used an oven or other to aid in the 
drying process).  I always thought it  unusual to see electronic gear waiting 
to be washed next to the kitchen  sink...

Good luck!
