Sad to say I can’t even get a club member to help me test / evaluate the keys and keyers I’ve collected from different sources through the years. If I sent you a list of the gear I have, could you help me determine what to keep and what to sell? I have a variety from an old telegraph style key to an MFJ and a Heathkit Iambic keyers.
