[ARC5] SG Keying of ARC-5 Tx

[Michael Bittner]

My uncle gave me his bug after the war.  He was radio operator on B-24s 
flying "the hump" China/Burma/India theater of operations.

Also, in the 1930s, CW was a principle means of communication for bush 
pilots in Alaska using straight key strapped or clamped to leg.
I have a book on this somewhere but can't find it at the moment or I'd cite 
it.

Mike, W6MAB
