Hi All,
      let's get CW going in this state. More people are realising the joy of building your own transmitters and they also keep their synapses active by learning morse code. Just received some new paddles - a single and a dual paddle unit that use micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) switches so that there are no contacts to clean or adjust.

We will try to get the SA CW aficionados together for some practice sessions and maybe the odd pub meal.

Here is a picture of the new single paddle key.

There are currently 3 Kiwi Sdrs connected to a 12m high duoconical antenna.
