"Hi everyone,

Thought this might interest a few of you.  An easy
to build homebrew paddle I put together.

Bill,

TNX for the photos. You know, that looks more like a cootie or
sideswiper key. Your paddle has no "indexing" feature--no centering
return. Do you have problems with it 'drifting' away from center while
you're sending? I could imagine it getting closer to one side if you
aren't careful, and even touching a contact inadvertently? Indexing is
the difficult part of designing and building paddles.
