[CW] USING A TWO METER RADIO TO SEND CW

[David Ring]

MCW is a great starting place - I've suggested to "Morse Express" that
it might be a good idea to sell his "T" code oscillator kit with parts
for microphones etc.

I didn't have enough response then, but how about now?

Send Marshall Emm a message asking him for such a kit!

I think it would be a wonderful kit.
