K4EQ enjoying a little CW. From day one as a Novice class licensee in 1960, this has been my favorite mode. |

Top l-r: Bearcat scanner, 3a Samplex power supply, Alinco DJ-V5 2m/70cm HT, Diamond SX-200 SWR/power meter, MFJ-969
antenna tunner with 3 QRP rigs on top (NC38 Special, Sudden Storm RX, TT1 TX). Bottom l-r: Logikey K-3 keyer, IC-703,

Here's a look at my two HF rigs. The one on the left if the IC-703 QRP transceiver and the one
on the right is the IC-706MKIIG. |

This is a NorCal 38 Special QRP radio I built several years ago. I mounted it on top of a dusk cover for the
Bencher paddles. Fits slick as a whistle. |

Elecraft magnetic paddle made by Bencher. These are excellently made and I use them most of the time. The
finger pieces are made of Brazilian kingwood and were handcrafted by
Cregg Mulder, WB8LZG. |

This is the P2jr paddle made by K8RA. I replaced the original finger pieces with some made out of Michigan butternut and
handcrafted by Cregg Mulder, WB8LZG. |

This is the March magnetic paddle made by John March, K4QU. They're not cheap, but if you're a CW aficionado
as I am, they're worth it. |
 |
Just another view--from the top--of my superbly made March magnetic paddle. The serial number
is 0159. |
 |
Here's a cute little iambic paddle (model MK-44) made by Whiterook Products.
It's lightweight and fun for field QRPing. |
 |
This is the MK-44 paddle with MK-36 mini-leg mount beside it. |
 |
This is what the MK-44 mini paddle looks like strapped to the leg. It's perfect for field QRP where you might
not have a place or room for the paddle. Also, it would be super for mobile QRPing. |

This old Skillman semi-automatic key (bug) was a Christmas gift to me from my parents when I was
a Novice class licensee in 1960. I could never part with it, |
