[Elecraft] Re: Palm Paddles

[Mike Fitzgibbon]

I have a set of these and, for a base, had my kid cut a piece of steel 
out of 10/12 gage sheet that is slightly larger than the paddle 
base...rounded the corners a bit with a sander and it holds down well 
with the magnets.  I do, however, set my paddles for a very light 
touch...  I'm sure any metal shop could cut a base for a small 
compensation...

I had the early model Paddletts(sp?) with the springy brass arms and 
thought they were nasty...the newer ones are maybe better, but the 
original ones were kinda lame...in more ways than one...
