There is a thrill
when a tiny Morse electronic keyer paddle that cost $0.86 (including the
two pennies used for the handles) makes QSOs by keying up thousands of
dollars of ham gear: IC756 PRO III, Yaesu FL2100B amp at 700 watts,
Cushcraft A4 tribander at 40 feet. I built this version of the
NORCAL NB6M paddle not so neatly, but as a prototype, and was quite
impressed with the way it works. Lots of fun, Took about two
hours. The original plans for the NORCAL NB6M paddle is on the NORCAL
website at http://www.norcalqrp.org/nb6mpaddles.htm
