6 Homebrew Build of a Force Touch Sensing Morse Code Paddle

Video #6 – After interviewing Tim Keen K5DEZ back in 2020, he suggested I homebrew a simple Morse code paddle from a design he came up with. Tim’s design was inspired by an article in QST Magazine by Art Heft K8CIT. He posted information about the project on the Summits on the Air reflector, here:

This the first video of a series of livestreams sessions I did where I built this paddle.
