[Elecraft] OT - Straight keys

[ANDY DURBIN]

"The later editions can be good things to donate to new hams. Ditto for a straight key."

I paid $120 for a collection of English keys so I could have a "KEY W.T. 8 AMP" of the type I had used as  teenage g3wyc.  Getting an 8A was a prerequisite for getting back to CW mode.  I knew I could send reasonable code at 15 wpm with that key but was hopeless with a paddle.  That $120 was well spent even if 95% of my sending is now push button or keyboard.
