Homebrew Paddle
« on: September 06, 2015, 20:48:14 UTC »
I recently completed homebrewing a keyer paddle made from items found around the workshop. With the bands in such poor shape these days I have time on my hands hi hi. Hope to catch some of my fellow QRP ops in the near future. Thanks for looking. 73

 ;D  Realy a nice thing, my style. I like the old style with the screws on rear end. I also build side sweepers this way but solder the cable directly to the arm and ground. Yours nice to look at, hope it works well to.

Best regards, 72 de SM5MEK, Jenny.

Thanks for the kind words. This is not the first paddle I have made, I'll include a photo of another that I use for portable operation. Thanks again-----73
