[CW] Radio without antennas

[Ken Lotts]

I would not hesitate to buy that kit.. probably worth every penny.. plus it
looks fun.  Nothing like some solder smoke to enhance the shack's
atmosphere..
As an aside, I have been amazed at MFJs pretty darn sweet sounding keyers.
They just use a PIC microcontroller to generate a square wave and then
filter the heck out of it.  I am  thinking that they also shape the envelope
as well.  There is some pretty good software that does this sort of thing
using your computer's sound card.. real nice sine wave.  I recall using it a
year or two ago.. makes wave files from text or something like that.
anyhow.. back to that kit.  It looks fun..

I have not done it yet, but have been thinking of using a good audio tone
generator (not a code practice oscillator) - something along the lines of
EBAO-3 Audio Oscillator Kit. $9.95 from http://www.mtechnologies.com/ and
porting the audio to the line-in on my computer. This is for use with a
straight or bug key - and I would put the key in the audio-out line.

Just remember, I have not done this yet. It is just an air castle for now.

I have been very busy building a new website for a customer and no time to
play.
