[Elecraft] OT: Begali Paddles

[Joel Black]

When I upgraded to Extra, I bought myself the Begali Adventure Mono to 
go with my KX3. Needless to say, I have not been on *any* "Adventures" 
with my KX3 - yet. Mostly just taking it with me to work and using it 
during my lunch break.

I like the Begali paddle I have. Currently, I have it in the shack on 
its magnetic base on a piece of steel I took from an old bent up Bencher 
key. Eventually I'd like to put it with my KX3 *only* instead of moving 
it back and forth.

I'm not a *great* CW operator and I'm definitely *not* QRQ. I putter 
around 15 - 17WPM but I like nice CW tools. I'm looking to spend no more 
than $300 and am wondering about the Begali Simplex (which can be had 
for much less than $300). I have also looked at the N3ZN keys and they 
are very nice too. I actually had a ZN6 at one point, but sold it.

Any thoughts?

Please, in the interest of the list, reply directly to my email address.
