[CW] Keys and old Radio Stuff

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Yes, Wim.

That video is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g6z7-d1fiI showing
a bug that was used by the elite military radiotelegraph operators in World
War II (Russian: Patriotic War).  Lery UA3AO who just posted a message
about the VibroKeyer here, is the owner of the key and in the  video he
demonstrates it's operation because I could not see clearly what was going
on with the two levers on his other videos.  With the sequence of sending
numbers, I could clearly see him going left to right to produce dashes, a
motion like that of a cootie key.  I call this added lever a "Cootie
Dasher" because it seems to describe it's use.

I just received word that Pierro Begali of Begali Keys in Italy is
designing such a key to manufacture.  I'm looking forward to this  exciting
development because I have tried to interest other machinists in producing
a copy of this, at least one, for myself.  Now it will be a regular
production model from Begali.
