[Elecraft] PTT Footswitch

[Terry Schieler]

Correct, Bill.  In my younger day's I had wired a micro switch to the bass drum pedal of my drum kit for the purpose of setting off pyrotechnics on stage.  Long after my retirement from professional music (as well as from blowing things up) I tried to use the bass drum pedal as a PTT switch just because it felt familiar and I already HAD IT.  I worked, but if I had a tune in my head I would often find myself tapping triplets with my right foot.  Not wise for a SSB QSO.  ;o)

Band equipment takes a beating and keeps on going. Excellent idea.
