[Elecraft] Chasing my Foot Switch

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

You guys are describing problems that relate to a foot switch as well (I 
know - crossed fingers held high and all about something other than CW).  I 
had the problems with the key as well and just sit my Kent on some of the 
non-skid shelf bumpy stuff, helps a lot.

My foot switch is mounted on a 6 inch wide piece of 1/4 plywood x 15 
inches?( so my foot sits on the same board as the switch but the height of 
it was never right either so placed another board (1x6) in front of the 
switch so now it is "just right" as far as I am concerned.  Just a slight 
movement of toes down to key and just relax to unkey.  Very little actual 
movement.  Oh, the entire board is covered with the bumpy shelf stuff and my 
foot doesn't slide around and I don't have to chase the switch around 
either.
