[CQ-Contest] Best Paddles?

[Kelly Taylor]

If you can find an NØSA paddle, you’ll be very pleased. Larry only makes smaller paddles now, but when he was in full production, his paddles were sublime.

N3ZN’s look very nice. I can see why Bencher would be seen as “fussy,” but in 30+ years, mine have never given me a second of regret. The one at the cottage has gone through 15 seasons of freeze-thaw and not lost a microgram of its settings.

 Still, my go-to is the NØSA.
