Søren KjærsgaardI really had my doubts which one to get - so I ordered one of each 😂
Plan to keep them both - they’re amazing 🤩
charlybrownDie Halterung für die verschiedenen Paddles ist fertig.
Blau foliert damit es hübsch aussieht.
Ich habe zwei Aussparungen mit der Hand gefeilt und dort passen die hinteren Gummifüße der #Begali nun perfekt rein und die Taste steht bombenfest.
Das #PalmPaddle hat Magnete an der Bodenplatte und kann einfach daraufgestellt werden und hält ebenfalls sehr gut.
#POTA und #FieldDay (letztes Juliwochenende) können kommen!

From Begali
"Hello Diane,
Thanks again for your understanding and patience waiting for this key!
We finally can confirm you it was shipped out by FedEx !
You should get it there by the en d of the next week!
Please, let me know when you get it ! "
Really looking forward to this!
PeterI've just ordered a #begali HST III.
Not sure if my stage of learning #morsecode justifies such a key, but we learned when the kids were young and learning to play various musical instruments that it was a handicap to them to try to learn on cheap substandard ones.
Met up with #radioamateurs from #OZ7SAC club station at ‘Busbjerg’, a new POTA site in OZ (Denmark), DK-0214.
Brought my IC-7000 along with a ‘flowerpot’ antenna for 6m and a brand new #greencell LiFePO4 battery.
A heavy backpack, but only a short hike (and 60m ascent 🥵) from the nearby parking lot.
As it turned out, 6m was dead, at last seen from my end, so no QSOs this time.
My friends had more luck with 20m and 2m 👍🏼
Philipp DK3IP@g7kse @tony I really love the TP-III. It’s very accurate and works fine with a close spacing but in my opinion it’s not made for bad weather. In this thread https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/lightweight-portable-morse-paddle-recommendations/33227/7 some of the options are discussed quite well. I don’t think there are a lot of SOTA ops with a #Begali Adventure - would love to hear some opinion on that key in hostile weather.

Hello Matt If you search for the keywords “Palm” or “Bamatech” you’ll find a whole lot of information. In general, you should test whether you like holding the key in your hand or whether you want to attach it to a device (perhaps a desk pad). There are keys that are specially built to be fixed to the device. e.g. Elecraft - KXPD2. Then you could test whether you can handle sensor keys. There are also interesting possibilities. The mechanics of the classic keys differ… they are made of plas...
Tony M5OTAMighty #TinyPaddle from @n6ara arrived yesterday. Not saying I prefer it to my lovely #begali , but after a quick test CQ at home I did like it so much that I’m thinking of using it as the home key for a bit. Test CQ apparently got picked up by the RBN in Madagascar with 10W, so it’s clearly doing the business! 😂
Looking forward to trying it out portable.

WA6LWonder if #Begali has ever been at #Pacificon ? I’m looking for a dual lever key.
Jonathan G4IVVVery excited that my new bug key has arrived in the shack! Very much looking forward to getting this beauty on the air.
