Many thanks to everyone for the good advice on learning the code.  And yes,
I want to learn code for on the air use and not to just get my license.  I
really have no interest in voice operation.  The thrill in ham radio seems
to be in making the contact and telegraphy (in my opinion).
Question:  I probably should be learning and developing my key pounding
skills and practicing sending the letters on a key as I learn them.  Does
this make sense?  What would be a good quality key to get?  Any guidance
would be appreciated.
