Paddle Failure in the Field! Why I Always Carry 2 CW Keys

SOTA Activation W6/SC-300 | Elecraft KX2 HF + 2M CW with Packtenna Dipole | Paddle Failure in the Field!

Join me for a Summits on the Air (SOTA) activation of W6/SC-300, where I operated HF using the Elecraft KX2 and an end-fed half-wave (EFHW) antenna. I also experimented with the Packtenna setup configured as a dipole for both 2M CW and 2M FM simplex contacts.

Midway through the activation, my Modern Morse CW paddle failed—locking up on the dit side—forcing me to switch to my backup key, the Bamatech TP-III. This is a perfect reminder of why I always carry an extra CW paddle when activating in the field.

Plenty of portable ham radio fun, troubleshooting on the summit, and solid contacts across bands.
