[Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ?

[David Bunte]

Gee, and I can remember in about 1958 riding the train from the 'burbs into
Chicago for about $ .50, walking down to the surplus store, and buying new,
in the box J-38s for $ 1.95 each.  They had hundreds, but short-sighted
teenager that I was, I only bought what I thought I needed at the time.
