[Boatanchors] Hotel Key

[SBJohnston at aol.com]

I've been living in a hotel for several weeks now, having moved to take a new 
job - with family to follow in about a month from now.  Prettly lonesome 
conditions.

Amazingly, given the significant number of telegraph keys I own, I forgot to 
bring one with my portable rig.  Doh!

So, I got the notion Sunday afternoon to make a CW key from ready-to-use 
home-improvement store stuff...

Then I went to work today, and opened up one of my office-moving boxes, and 
what 
do I find?

So I did bring a key along with me after all!  It is the CT miniature key 
from the Ukraine that I display on my desk.  A great looking little key that 
works great.
