Or . . .

I started measuring diodes by squeezing them between my fingers and then watching the
readings. When the reading has stabilized, I figured the diode had pretty well stabilized
at 98.6 F. I get consistent readings at a warm temp.

I figure that if the diodes are slightly of at room temp, they will get better when they
heat up!
