Kent paddle key kit.....

Today the doorbell woke me up from a nap on the couch.....
It was the Dutch postal service with a package....


This made my day, cause I was already hoping it would arrive today as I ordered it on Monday.
Now I did not want to order this be for I actually learned Morse code, but I could not help myself, and it felt like the missing part in my shack....

So after I opened the package up, I ended up with this....


This was very well packed... really really really well... And I had read some stuff on the Kent website of parts missing... well mine was complete, and as all parts were in zip-lock bags, I assume they solved any logistic problems there might have been.... everything looked and was packed way above my expectations....

So, after about 45 minutes all the parts transformed into this......

It's not set up yet, nor is there a wire... wanted to put a blog post up first :) .....

What was very obvious from the start is the amount of precision and craftsmanship has gone in to this.
It's amazing to be honest. at the going price, which is really not bad at all, this is as well for a starter as an experienced CW ham. (which was already told to me by my good friends PA7TWO and PA0RHA)

So three cheers for the people at Kent Engineers for making these awesome products.
