[CW] Alternative to hand sent code... 'The Air Key'

[Paul Carreiro, N6EV]

Manual keying via your breath.  I've thought about this method of 
sending for many years.  It would be beneficial to those who have 
either lost the use of their hands and/or arms, or just find it too 
difficult to manipulate a key.  Well someone (W5IG) has come up with 
a working 'Air Key' that seems to work very well.  They are available 
via EBay for a reasonable price.  Just search for "CW Air Key".   As 
far as I know, this is the first commercially available key of this 
type.  I'm sure others have made keys like this in the past, but I've 
not seen them.

I just ordered one and will provide a review once I have it in hand 
.. err in mouth.  I certainly don't need the key as I don't have a 
problem hand sending.   I'm curious how well it works since I've 
thought about it for a long time.. and wanted to support their new 
product effort.

Here's a video of the key in action:

If you know of anyone who would benefit from this.. make sure they 
are made aware!  I'll make sure they've informed the HandiHams organization.
I have no connection with the product or manufacturer.  Just 
informing the masses.
