[Elecraft] simple iambic paddle

[Ed - K9EW]

Hi Brian,

Take a look at my website ( www.k9ew.us )for some homebrew key /
paddle ideas.  Most were copied or adapted from the designs of others
that I found on the Internet.  Look under Projects / Paddles and Keys.

They are very low-tech, and don't require much skill to build.  And
they all work!
