From time to time, some beautiful work or art, that is also a Morse key, catches my fancy. I recently purchased a small dual-lever paddle from UR5CDX, for about $150 including shipping (surprisingly fast too — about a week via international post).
At home I go big and heavy to deal with my ham-fist which knocks keys all about the desktop. But when traveling (like POTA), size/weight becomes an issue. I haven’t used this key on the road yet, but I fully expect I’m going to have to hold it with one hand while sending as I do other small keys. That said, it’s almost too pretty to use.
UR5CDX CT73 MBL (the “B” means Brass, and the “L” means smaller/lighter base)
