[CW] Battleship Missouri CW Key

[Jim Reid]

Aloha from Hawaii,

At the Koolau Radio Club meeting last Saturday, Mike AH7R mentioned that
the actual telegraph key (Vibroplex, I think) that was used on the Missouri
to send the news of the surrender signing on September 2, 1945 still
exists, and is in a museum someplace.  Mike had the bright idea (if we can
find it) to see if we can borrow it and then use it on the air on September
2 (probably 2003, not 2002 as we're running out of time). 

The  USS Missouri is now docked here at Pearl Harbor,  just
near the Arizona Memorial.  The amateur station on board is
KH6BB;  would be great to have that key on board as above!

But so far we've been unable to locate the key or confirm the rumor that it
even exists.  Does anyone have any information/leads?

73,  Jim  KH7M
