[CW] New Club for Morse Code Enthusiasts

[David Ring]

I think the British - were the best on hand keys - perhaps the lovely
PS213A which was the station key at the various and many coastal
stations in the UK was part of the reason.

The Americans were known for their Vibroplex sending - listeners to
the ham bands might occasionally hear some of the best fist around.

Here is a partial list of some of the best I've ever heard:  W1HDC,
W1YT, W2HXI, W2LYH, W4AX, K4AX, W6AX, W6BNB - are some that come to
mind.

The sending of these men have brought tears to my eyes it is so good -
all of them were either Navy, Western Union, or Merchant Marine /
Coastal Radio Telegraphers at one time.
