Hello fellow Hams. 

This dual key setup sounds great, and being able to be used by two operators simultaneously it could have another purpose like teaching / practicing Code for those who learn by doing. The student would have immediate feedback on missed letter and such. 

On the souvenir card, I would add the means to assign a coded number showing the person his/her visitor count for those using the system. This could be used to plan giveaways for particular milestones like every millionths user or any preselected count to give them a certificate to show that. When people participate in an activity that could earn them something they tend to be more interested on doing it.

Morse Code Enthusiasts:

I don’t post on this Reflector very often so I hope that this e-mail finds you well.

I am a member of the battleship USS Wisconsin Amateur Radio Club, N4WIS (see https://n4wis.org/), which is now a museum berthed in Norfolk, Virginia.  I recently completed building a dual-station Morse Code practice station that we will encourage our guests and visitors to use in order to actively engage them in a radio-related experience.  Our debut will be the upcoming Pearl Harbor Day special event (7-8 December) where we will first test this out and see how it works.

Yesterday I posted a YouTube video that outlines the design, construction, programming and testing of the unit.  FYI, here is the link to that video:
