[Elecraft] Good time to buy Begali products

[Merv Schweigert]

I have the exact same "problem" Gary, and never mention it as many CW ops
dont get the drift.   I use triangle shaped paddles and that seems to 
work for me,
you can get scrap plastic from a plastic dealer in many colors,  I found 
the same
thickness in red and blue and made new paddles,  sanding the cut edges with
really fine sandpaper makes them clear and rounded and look professional,
its easy to counter sink the holes with a larger size drill bit.
I usually do it by hand (not with a drill)  so I dont break the plastic 
which is easy to
do with a drill.
