For this Summits on the Air activation, Dan KC7MSU and I drive down to Tucson to activate Mount Lemmon. It’s a short hike around the observatory to the north side. On this activation I bring along the American Morse Ultra Porta Paddle with a cleaver 3D printed cover that protects the adjustment screws from getting bumped. Many ops like myself prefer holding the paddle rather than mounting it. This particular paddle posses a problem with those exposed contact screws but the 3D printed cover made by Brian AC7PB solves the issue. I am appreciative to Brian for sending me two of them to try out.
