[Elecraft] design challenge: KXPD1 paddle dock for the K2 tilt stand

Our KXPD1 paddle for the KX1 would work very well with the K2 if it could be
directly attached to one of the vertical arms of the K2's tilt stand. This
would eliminate the need for a paddle with a heavy base during lightweight
portable operation.

What we'd need is a very stable bracket that grips the K2's tilt stand and
acts as a physical and electrical "dock" for the KXPD1. It should meet the
following criteria (this sounds harder than it really is):

I'd love to take a crack at such a design myself, but probably won't get a
chance this year. Anyone else interested in giving it a try?

Ideally, we'd like to see the drawing(s) in .DXF file format, compatible
with CNC fabrication.

Whoever submits the best *working* prototype (with a complete drawing, and
satisfying the criteria above) will most definitely be rewarded for their
efforts.

Wayne,

    What a neat idea!  By when must designs be submitted in order for them
to be considered?
