Thought as long as I saw a review of the MFJ/Bencher I would
give my impression of a new mini-paddle which is hand made
in Germany.

Yes, I know it was a little expensive..but one of the few
times in my life I decided to get the best.

====================
I quote from the brochure:

SCHURR Mini Paddle:
        dual paddle key mechanism made almost entirely of MS
58 Brass.  The two paddles have precision pivots made of
brass and steel. The tension of both keying levers can be
individually adjusted.  The hard Silver contact clearance's
are adjustable by lockable fine thread screws.  Both paddles
are permanently lubricated with molybdenum disulfice MOS2.

The paddles are warrantied for workmanship and materials for
3 years.
===================

It comes with 2 screws to mount on your own base. I
purchased the paddles to use mobile.  Someone had just given
me an old metal leg strap, and the holes matched up
perfectly with the mini paddles.

I have very rarely seen anything that is constructed so well
and with such precision.  The two screws used to adjust the
contact adjustment are so exactly machined that no special
tool is needed.  The precision of sending on this set of
paddles makes the Benchers(which I use in the shack and
love) look like they were made by a child.

The paddles are very sturdy and there is nothing to fly
apart or damage (so great for mobile and backpacking).

I love these paddles and wished I would have gotten a pair
of their large ones for the shack instead of Benchers.

These are my own opinions and I have nothing to do with the
company (just got the name out of an article on keys).

I believe it only took a little over a week from the time I
sent the check to when the paddles were in my mail box
(better than getting some parts US mail ordered).

I am so impressed with these paddles I plan on sending a
thank you letter to Klaus G. Gramowski, DL7NS

I don't agree with this interpretation!  The way I read it sect. "c" lists
several categories of people who can posess such a radio, each type is
separated by semicolons, and each type is independent of the other.  The
first three lines is one category for "individuals".  The 5th category
is hams, and there are no restrictions included in this category.  To 
interpret this any other way, you would have to be saying that police, fire,
and other emergency services, etc could only use their radios in their
own homes, which is obviously not intended.  These are all independent
categories, not a group of criteria all of which must be met by everyone.

One possible disadvantage:  It would be harder to get good balance
at higher frequencies.  If you don't need a balanced mixer, a dual-gate
GaAsFET should make a good UHF mixer.

Since all those folks you're complaining about passed the code
test, in fact many passed a code test faster than was offered
25 years ago, stricter code exams aren't the answer. Many of the
worst offenders are Extra Class. The problem is a general loss
of respect for authority, and loss of good manners. That's a
society wide problem and not unique to amateur radio. Erecting
artificial barriers based on a non-relvant requirement does
nothing to solve that particular problem. 

I remember the AM-SSB wars of the late 1950s. It wasn't much better
then either. And the Old Man wrote about the same sort of thing in
the 1920s and 1930s. Ill-mannered operators is not a problem that's
solved by Morse Code testing. It's a social problem that will have
to resolve itself in the social arena.

ARLB099 Hiram H. Maxim dies

The son of ARRL founder Hiram Percy Maxim has died.  Hiram Hamilton
Maxim, 92, died November 2 in Simsbury, Connecticut.  ''HAM,'' as he
was called, was the widower of Alison Heminway Maxim, who died in
1990.  He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in 1921, returned home to work for his father, and took over the
company, Maxim Silencer, when HPM died in 1936.

Hiram Hamilton Maxim leaves a son, Hiram Percy Maxim II, and a
daughter-in-law, a sister, and three grandchildren.  A memorial
service was held November 7.

Hello fellow amateurs,

Just to let you know that a NON technical lady has just joined the ranks of
TECHNICIAN.  I'm very proud of her as she didn't know one end of a resistor
from the other before she started studying for the exams.  If you are      
interested in the no code license but are concerned about passing the tests
use my wife as an example.  She had very little difficulty getting through
the study guide.  If anyone out there has some spare time, please drop her
an Email and say congratulations.  She would get a real kick out of that!

 I've heard that Marlon Brando is a ham.  Don't know what his legal

 with ham gear.  Can anyone confirm?
-----------
 His real name is Marlon Brando.  Sister is Jocelyn Brando.
 But....what is his call?

 But there are no Brandos in the callsign database, so as far as I
 know it is still a myth.  I'm hoping someone can confirm or refute it.
 ------------
 In a search of the data provided by the FCC a few months ago, I found no
 amateurs with a last name of Brando.
 ------------

  It's spelled Brandeaux and he lives somewhere in FO = French Polynesia, so 
  you wouldn't find him in the FCC data base, which only includes W and VE.

Id you don't want shortwave, you can get a radio with AM, FM, and TV
audio for under $20 at Targetl Wal-Mart, or even some drug stores,
such as Eckerd.  Some Models also have weather band radio.  Radio
Shack also has a product like this.  I don't know how good they are,
and they vary in size.

If you want TV video too, as well as AM/FM, Target was selling a
small, 4-inch black-and-white TV for $50, and it had AM and FM also.
