For some time we have been looking for a quality desktop CW paddle to 
complement the K1, K2 and KX1. Bob Locher at Bencher has worked with us 
to create a special edition of his new HexKey paddle for us with a 
unique Elecraft serial sequence stamped into its base, starting with s/n 
001. This paddle derives its mechanism from the famous mercury paddle 
that Bencher also manufactures. It has a heavy hexagonal black base with 
a chrome magnetically tensioned mechanism with gold contacts. From the 
first time I tried it I was hooked :-)

See: http://www.elecraft.com/hexkey/Elecraft_hexkey1_sm.JPG

I've added it to our order form and we have them in stock. Bencher lists 
the regular HexKey for $195. We are offering the Elecraft special 
edition for $179.95.

We will also have them with us at Pacificon this weekend.

I'll upload a full web page describing it in more detail next week after 
we return from Pacificon.

73, Eric
