[ARC5] Basic Question

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

Not necessarily pertinent here, but when I went through Navigator 
School in 1961-1962, basic Morse training was part of the course. 
 
One day, the instructor was sending with a hand key and I had taken 
the headphones off (hurtful instruments of torture) because I could 
copy the approximately 5 wpm from just the sounds of the key.  When 
I demonstrated that I could copy without the headphones on, he told 
me to not come back and go have a drink at the Officers' Club! 
 
Needless to say, I beat feet out of there!

I recall Fair Radio used to sell a WWII vintage 
radio control box that had a CW key built in.  Now, pilots in that era 
received  Morse Code training, and although that probably was 
primarily intended to enable them to translate the code from NDB's was 
there any radio equipment designed to enable pilots, rather than radio 
operators, to send and receive Morse Code signals?
