[CW] HamKey

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

My wife has one as she comes from St. Louis, MO where they are made.  She
doesn't use it.  I've tried it, but quickly disconnected it.

It feels cheap to me, and is sticky - but perhaps it needs to be taken apart
and cleaned throughly.

I didn't like them when they came out - I thought they were a cheap
knock-off of the better Brown Bros. key - which was also from St. Louis.
The frame is plastic but it hasn't broken yet, but I am a metal person when
it comes to frames!  I like plastic paddles though.

It sends ok, but it isn't my favorite.  My wife retired it for a Bencher.

> Very interesting.  See also QST for Feb. 2004, page 30 for a pix of the
HK-1 prototype now owned by K6RML.   He does not list an email adr at
qrz.com, so does anybody know who the maker of the Ham Key is or was?  Is it
worth a hoot for sending?
