For those of you who work mobile CW, I'm curious what you use for a
paddle?  I have the Begali Traveller Lite, and find that while the
magnetic tensioning is great for fixed position operating, it has too
little tension for mobile work.

Understand completely. I've been using the W9WBL VSL, his original Vertical Single Lever paddle. (With my TenTec Scout) Precision milled from brass, with spring tensioning. Never needs cleaning! :-) Mine is very dark and dusty from many years of mobiling, but it has never needed contacts cleaned and never needs re-adjusting.

Problem is Stan ceased production 5+ years ago to manage another business. Hope he someday restarts production.
