I ordered one UKA-3+ kit from Ham Gadgets and one Keyall from Jackson
Harbor Press today. Looks like both will make a great interface to a
keyed cathode old Boat Anchor transmitter. I'll first try them out
using an ELDICO TR-75TV Novice transmitter. I haven't fired up an
Eldico TR-75TV since 1953. Plan to use a little Lake Erie Swing with my
Lightning bug purchased in 1954 on it.

PS: Thanks for the helpful input.
