[Elecraft] Re: Junker key

[Leo Starrenburg PA5LS]

Hi Kevin, Elecrafters,

I learned to send Morsecode on a Junker and took my test on a -government
issue- Junker.

Since then I bought another one and although these three keys look the same
and are of the same brand and type, they are very distinctive and different
in "feel". I allways send with the key near the end of the table-top, and my
elbow in mid-air.

Lately I use a Kent key for my K2 and a small oval based key for my K1. This
last key is a coveted present from Ron AC7AC and it is a perfect companion
for the K1.
