I think you will like the mini paddle.I actually have a youtube video about it.It's a good key for /p and comes in two colours.Black and grey.
As for my sitting position.Well,I keep myself active with lots of walking and farm work so remain flexible despite getting older.Now aged 48!For longer spells I would lie down!
Fun stuff Sandy! I learn a bit each time I watch your videos -- next time I set up the portable doublet I'm going to try out those bamboo end supports. 73 Lynn
Without bamboo canes on each end the antenna was detuned by about 200 Khz.Also by raising the ends you diminish the effects of the ground on the antenna system.I have now used my resonant dipoles on many different ground types and always the swr remains good.
Sandy, your code is superb! but how can you sit like that LOL. I'd have cramps like you wouldn't believe LOL I just ordered a Mini Paddle..
