Hi Brian, Take a look at my website ( www.k9ew.us )for some homebrew key / paddle ideas. Most were copied or adapted from the designs of others that I found on the Internet. Look under Projects / Paddles and Keys.
They are very low-tech, and don't require much skill to build. And they all work! 73, ed - k9ew www.k9ew.us On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 11:39 AM, Brian Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Knowing the penchant for CW that many of you have, I thought I would ask the > following question here. > > Does anyone have a design for a very simple iambic key that can be made with > simple materials and hand tools?
