[CW] AMATEUR: Loving Unites

[Richard]

A very nice sentiment David and by the way I enjoyed our QSO on 80m even though the condx were tough--read abysmal. Lord, I wish I could switch to different keys/bugs with the ease that you can, but I "cut my teeth" years ago on a straight key and went directly from there to a Bencher/electronic keyer. 
 
In any case, here's  a question for the group. Has anybody ever put together a keying device for MCW on 2m or UHF for that matter? I have a couple of schematics for such but have never actually taken the time to build one. Its too bad that MFJ or some other specialty company doesn't market a nice neat ready to go package but then perhaps the market is too small------but as they say "if you build it they will come"........

Latin "to love".

Radio Amateurs go beyond knowing, into believing.

The word "believe" in English comes from German roots - which mean
"beloved" - when we believe someone or something we join it to ourselves.

One thing that love does is join the loved to the beloved. It is very
fitting that such a love also embraced CW which just turning on and off the
radio signal. CW operators don't stop at loving FM, AM, or the digital
modes, they wish to embrace radio at it's foundation. They want it all.
Such a love!

How great to be loved to such a degree!

Long live CW.
