Paddles are a wonderful project for people who like to make
mechanical things. I build a single lever paddle using the arm
bearing from an old hard drive, lots of brass pieces from the
hardware store, two super magnets for springs, and some silver
wire from a jeweler friend for the contacts. I don't have enough
CW experience to comment on how good it is, but people at my ham
radio club thought it was at least OK, and it made a nice
project while my T1 tuner kit was backordered. :-)
