[Elecraft] Sticky feet

[Gary K9GS]

I use the rubber mesh shelf liner in black under my paddles...it works 
fantastic.  I also use it on top of my amp to keep the watt-meter 
perched up there from sliding around.  I just cut out around the 
ventilation holes so they aren't blocked.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is what people are doing if you use 
the bail on the K3 and P3?  I don't own a P3, yet, but on the K3 I have 
cut a decorative piece of wood to elevate the P3 a little higher off the 
desk.  The piece of wood is currently a little wider than the K3 bail.  
I've stuck some ~1/4 thick silicone rubber feet to the desk facing side 
and this keeps things from sliding around very well.

One thing I plan on doing when I add the P3 is to make a similar thing 
but spanning the combined width of K3 + P3.  I'll also cut a shallow 
grove in the top of the wood piece which will hold the bail and will 
keep the front panels in the same plane.  I may even make this out of 
some cool looking exotic wood.  I'm a wood worker too.....

Once I do this I'll post some pictures but it will probably be a while 
before I get around to this.
