    When you want to try a cw contact, give me a shout. I don't use it as much as I should and I'm a little rusty, but it comes back pretty fast if you just keep up with it. If you can copy enough to get an idea of what is being sent, and just keep going, you get better and better with fewer missed characters and errors. It really is a fun mode.

    I have a Nye Viking and a Vibroplex Original set up on the operating desk next to my keyer paddles. SKN wouldn't be the same without them and if I hear someone's CQ that doesn't sound machine generated I'll answer with one of the hand pumps.

    Go for the burn! Although I have paddles, keyers, etc., I still like a straight key from time to time. I still have the one my Grandma gave me in 1961 or so.

    I've tried, I really have. But I can't operate fast code with a straight key, and that's all there is too it.
