Yep. That's what fooled me. I just assumed the center post would be the hot connection since one normally arranges things to touch only grounded parts. (Normally doesn't always mean always...).
Might produce some interesting results if there's significant RF around when touching them. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Well, actually, those clever paper clip paddles will only operate iambic if you use the center post as ground. That puts the part your fingers touch at positive potential. Probably not an issue, but I'd feel a bit better if the finger pieces were ground. That would require the center piece to become 2 pieces. And, boy is that design ever clever! Very impressive. - Keith N1AS - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
