*****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
