[SOC] AZ ScQRPion Paddle - Construction qestion

[Dan KB6NU]

I just took a look at my paddle, and what you have to do is to solder  
the wire on the underside of the arm near the point above the hole in  
the base. Then you thread it through that hole and solder it to the  
lug on the bottom of the base. If that doesn't make sense, I'll take  
a picture of mine and send it to you.

To be honest, this didn't make much sense to me, either, at first. I  
think that's a weak part of the design.

73!
