[CW] McElroy Bug Serial Numbers List

[abqcooks at aol.com]

Thanks for the list David.  I knew Tom was SK but didn't think to snag that particular list just in case it went away. I have 2 keys on there. 
My favorite book by Tom was his " Railroad Telegrapher's Handbook".   I have a landline telegraph exhibit at our Railroad museum and his book covers any question I might get.

Hey, I'm curious as to how you sea travelers navigated the sea back in the days when you were active.  I assume there was no GPS yet.
We're you still using a ship master clock for longitude an shooting the stars for latitude ?
Just curious.  Thanks & stay healthy OT.

If anyone is interested, this is the last McElroy bug serial number list that Tom French, W1IMQ (sk) published February 2015 shortly before he died.  My key is #1378.  It's a deluxe marbelite finish bug with a brown metal carrying case, I bought it from the original owner who bought it in 1938 while in the Navy Yard in Boston, MA where Ted McElroy would often show up and sell keys.
