[Elecraft] CW Touch Keyer

There is little doubt that this key, particularly in Kit form is value for
money indeed.
 BUT  I have built one which works beutifully in my VK shack, where the
antennas are  in the clear and Coax fed

In my small QTH at G3SCD where the antennas are also coax fed but very low
and close to the shack, I cannot overcome (yet) the problems of RF getting
back to the keyer and making it quite useless.  Toroids, ferrites chokes
etc have been tried  with little change
 It is intersting to note that there I have what I call a decent earth and
in VK virtually no earth.
Also in UK 100 watt is my max with the K3  alone.
                                                                 73  David
