I met Mike March at Dayton (on the flea market) and I've been using one
of his "Mil-Spec" paddles with my OMNI-V ever since. I retired my
Bencher to ornament status. I don't even think about using the Bencher
now. Nuff said.
OK; it would have been a nice birthday present, but I had to buy my own.
Now I am waiting for a G4ZPY "VHS" paddle. (I live nearer the ZPY
factory than most folk on the reflector, so it was not exactly a
DX-pedition to go over and try one). I look forward to comparing
it with the March paddle. My guess is that I'll end up with them wired
in parallel (one for each hand ??)
