[CW] Brown Brothers CTL COMBO

[AD5VJ Bob]

Hi Steve:

Let me encourage you to look over the following links
(independent of manufactures).

These are Hams who are using or have used particular keys
and give you some insight as to their usage and
availability.

A good place to start:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/16 

Personally for someone getting started, or even for
seasoned veterans, I would recommend this maker:
http://www.k8ra.com/
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2387



  73 fer nw,
Bob AD5VJ

10X# 37210, FP#-1141, SMIRK#-5177

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
