[Elecraft] Suggested key/paddle for CW for a the K3 and others (not expensive)

[Bill Frantz]

Paddles are a wonderful project for people who like to make 
mechanical things. I build a single lever paddle using the arm 
bearing from an old hard drive, lots of brass pieces from the 
hardware store, two super magnets for springs, and some silver 
wire from a jeweler friend for the contacts. I don't have enough 
CW experience to comment on how good it is, but people at my ham 
radio club thought it was at least OK, and it made a nice 
project while my T1 tuner kit was backordered. :-)

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
