I visited several web sites that featured pictures of shacks today. Pretty much every one had, in addition to a half dozen or so expensive HF rigs, a nice shiny set of paddles on the desk. Several of them had more than one set of paddles. I love paddles, I'm not even sure where my old straight key has gotten to.
The little Whiterook paddles are fun to use, but I really want a nice heavy set of paddles like the ones in the pictures.
So I have gone back to Ebay one more time. I have bids in on an MFJ chrome base and a Bencher BY-1. I have always been outbid in the past, but maybe this time I'll have better luck.
Naurally, if I win one of these, I'll put its picture up here.
Update (Sep 2,2005) No joy, and no key. I'll keep watching for one, though.
