Only time will tell, but I suspect that the single lever paddles will become more popular if and when others give them try.<br /><br />73, Pierre ZS6APierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230877697387453564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744037563333293322.post-60122604422824941022013-07-26T11:51:00.696+02:002013-07-26T11:51:00.696+02:00Pierre I have had the Begali Contour for some year...Pierre I have had the Begali Contour for some years now (not a single lever) and am very happy with the key. <br />Mike<br />VE3WDMVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744037563333293322.post-87282336092114613502013-07-26T08:06:37.999+02:002013-07-26T08:06:37.999+02:00Vincent,
