Hi HPSDR DIYers
look what happened to my OZY board during reflow.

At about 195 degrees Celsius (383 F) the board started to pop and stink.
Reflow temperature was 220 degrees Celsius (428 F).
This is the result:

Here an example of a board treated exactly with the same temperature profile about 10 
minutes after OZY:

Nothing happened here.

Very disappointing. Anybody out there with a solution????????
