Yep, Try the Black Widow paddle made by Jerry Haigwood W5JS for $64 as a kit. Fun to finish any way you want it or just leave it alone in its rustic brass finish. Either way it's the best $250 paddle you can buy for $64. I used a simple palm sander with fine sand paper and made a sort of swirl pattern to the brass and just assembled it. It's now my favorite key replacing my old Bencher and Kent paddles on the desk.

The new ones look nicer! :>) Michael Baker K7DD [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Lundahl Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 3:08 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] CW: Best low cost iambic key?
