Here I am on the Massie key. Bob Merriam, W1NTE the curator of the museum
told me that he never heard anyone send so fast on the key. The secret was
that I rotated my grip on the key so I could rattle the lever with my arm.

My friend Thorn Mayes, W6AX (SK) along with two of my other friends, Art
Goodnow, W1DM (SK) and Bob Merriam, W1NTE (SK) (curator of the New England
Wireless and Steam Museum in Rhode Island) wrote a excellent book on the
early days of Wireless which is sold at the NEWSM Museum.

RECORDINGS of Lectures: Thorn also gave many lectures on early wireless,
some of which have been preserved:
