[CW] Excellent sideswiper sending from F8GNV

[Richard Knoppow]

     It seems to me there is a large difference in the feel of a keyer 
used as a SS and a conventional SS. The keyer has a stop in the middle, 
you can feel it as you go through the stop. A conventional SS has no 
stop, merely the neutral position of the spring. To me this is a major 
difference. I don't like the way my Vibrokeyer feels when used as a SS. 
The pix shows a Vibrokeyer with one knob, an easy modification. Does not 
affect what I am talking about.
