Yes, Gordon is producing keys again. They are very nice for sure. I had a VHS for 15 years, but recently sold it. I bought a hand made key by Alberto Frattini, I1QOD, for about the same price and like it better. Alberto, I understand is the European High Speed champ and a retired machinest. He also makes a miniature version appropriate for QRP and travel, though i haven't seen it, and a bug! To my knowledge only three of his paddles are in the US now. Mine is serial # 0055, "double nickel."
You can write Alberto at < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > He doesn't have a website. I would be happy if you mentioned my call sign if you write him, but please know, I have no connection, financial or other wise, just passing along another source of outstanding hand made paddles. e-mail me directly for a pix if you like. 72, Fred kt5x trustee, W5YA, High Desert Wireless QRP Ass'n _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must subscribe to post.
