[Elecraft] Connectors

[Bill Frantz]

I was told that all the compounds produced when silver is 
tarnished are conductive. So, when I built a single-lever 
paddle, I used two short pieced of silver wire, obtained from a 
jeweler friend, at right angles for the contacts. I haven't had 
any contact problems with that paddle.
