*****I don't post very often, and when I do it's usually for good 
cause.  I would like to as that you consider supporting the Halfway 
House for Keys program, run by a group of hams led by Myself, N6MQL, 
SKCC 5051. The program provides free or very-low-cost straight keys, 
bugs, and cootie keys to young, newly licensed amateur radio operators 
who have shown an interest in using CW.  The goal of the group is to 
keep Morse code alive and working on the air.  All recipients are 
required to use their donated keys for at least one hour a week on the 
air, not just with a practice oscillator.  They are also required to 
meet minimum guidelines to receive a key.

If you would like to donate a spare straight key, bug, or cootie key in 
any condition, or if you have keys' parts you would like to donate, our 
group would be very grateful for your contribution. Keys and spare parts 
can go directly to the group at:*****

*************If you have no keys to spare, cash works. You can donate 
directly though PayPal at halfwayhouse at pncengineering.com 
<mailto:halfwayhouse at pncengineering.com>. All of the money collected 
pays for parts that have not been donated or for postage, which we pay 
if a recipient can't pay for it. NONE of the money is kept by the 
Halfway House members for personal use.

If you have any questions about the program, would like to donate a key 
or parts, or would like to be considered as a recipient for key 
donation, please do not hesitate to email Mike at n6mql at arrl.net 
<mailto:n6mql at arrl.net>.
