I suppose this forum is a good place to ask as so many are CW ops.
I am evaluating a pcboard relay for switching RF (Tx/Rx) and need to
know what speed that the relay needs to qualify for
semi-breakin. Also, a precise definition of semi-breakin would be nice.
I get that QSK results in transfer from Tx to Rx after every CW
character. I'm guessing semi-breakin switches when there is a pause
in transmitting. I can evaluate the switching speed of my candidate
relays using a storage scope but need a precise number on how fast
they need to be.

PS: these relays will be switching 300w RF.
