[Elecraft] Black Widow paddle kit

[Alexandra Carter]

 From the looks of it, the paddles themselves are guitar picks -  
which are easy to get replacements for, and REALLY hard to break  
(essentially can't be), esp. the heavier thicknesses, which is what  
it looks like are on the paddle in the picture.

I think you guys may make me decide to get one. It looks like a neat  
little key! Speaking of neat little keys, I recently got a "code  
mite" key from Vibroplex, which is a little straight key, and it's  
neat! I really like this little key. 73 de Alex NS6Y
