Me either.

I can see paying 50 bucks for a nice hand key but that rare one  
better come with an entire ham station.  The latest ICOM ricebox,  
100foot tower, and all band hf log periodic beam.  Else it is going  
to become a whole lot rarer.

Or perhaps it comes with its own telegraph operator?!

Makes me better appreciate my no-cost, relay contacts on a stick key.
