Sure beats me.  Curious questions followed by curt answers.  I never thought
bearings had a lot of influence on how a paddle moved, but the referenced
paddle with "space age" bearings could be very interesting.

> I bet the key is an excellent one.
I'll have one in my shack if available.  From qrz.com there is not much info
nor is there much on the web site.  Maybe it's one of a kind.

You just can't educate everyone, David.  I tried without any feedback to
have posters correctly use terms like "your" vs. "you're", "lose" vs. 
"loose."
Doesn't work.

> How embarrasing - I almost feel shamed enough to operate SSB!
Nothing in this world is so serious as to make a person committ suicide
or operate SSB!  Simmer down.
