[ARC5] SG Keying of ARC-5 Tx

[K5MYJ]

In a WWII fighter the ARC-5 control box was mounted by the pilots RIGHT ARM.

The KEY was a button on the bottom of the control box.

Try flying your airplane with your RIGHT HAND and sending CW with your LEFT 
HAND!

And I don't suspect they worried much about CHIRP in those days.

The main use of the CW mode was for DFing.
