[CW] Flex-Flyer CW Key

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

And of course that means we will have "hi-fi CW" areas and "lo-fi" CW areas.
The slope of the waveshape will be adjusted to bring out the nuances of the
key.

CW that takes up 1.5 kHz minimum.

Hmmm, maybe the FCC will allow modulated CW on the bands? - Double Side Band
Modulated CW - now that's a bandwidth choker - 400 Hz modulation TWO
sidebands - one each plus and minus the carrier frequency.

If you want me, I'll be in the hi-fi CW band sucking on my chrome lollie pop
(my D104) nursing my way back to heath.

Hey, theres a thought. Sell those keys for $1500, and send the extra $200 to
the ARRL. Then they'll petition the FCC to ONLY allow use of the $1300 key,
and insist large segments of the band be set aside for its use.  A way to
save CW.
