Morse Code Portable Pressure Paddle (Touch Sensor Paddle) by David VK3IL

Post author By admin
Post date June 12, 2024

The VK3IL Homebrew or Kit Pressure Paddle is highly durable, very light and compact, and inexpensive. You have to practice with it a little to get used to how it works. There are many variations out there of similar type. From a simple K5DEZ homebrew paddle that uses a coin cell battery and discrete components, to a project where you order all the parts, to a ready to build kit, to the K6ARK paddle that is already constructed, you have a lot of options in pricing and the amount of effort you want to put in to make one of these paddles.

Post date June 11, 2024

In this video I show how I built the folding rotatable dipole for 10-20 meter. This would be a great antenna for the RV and camping.
Each side of the folding tube is about 99", add the 102" whips to each side.
