[CW] Code Practice Oscillators

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

Many new people especially during COVID-19 seclusion are learning Morse
code.

Sure there are nice apps for learning the code, but practice with a key is
another hurdle.

When I learned Morse back in 1964, I bought a code oscillator, many were
sold at the time because to get an amateur radio license, a Morse code test
was required.

After the abolishment of the Morse requirement, the sales of Morse
oscillators plunged and many went off the market, sadly one of the longest
running companies was Nye-Viking, who had bought E.F. Johnson's business,
and sold Johnson tuners and Johnson keys - he never did sell E.F. Johnson's
speed keys. I believe Bill Nye  recently passed away.
