[Fists] I2RTF Pietro Begali and his beautiful magnetic semi automatic key

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Some FISTS members might be interested in a recording of Pietro Begali -
the master telegraph key maker using his new bug.

Here is a sound file of I2RTF Pietro Begali using his beloved and beautiful
Intrepid semi-automatic key as received on 21 MHz at amateur radio station
N1EA south of Boston in Massachusetts, USA.  We even mentioned his beloved
and beautiful daughter, Bruna, whom I jokingly tell OM Begali should
receive the call sign of I2RT which as OM Pietro knows would be impossible
because the Italian radio agency has not issued two letter calls for years
- if you work an Italian two letter call sign you have worked someone who
has been a radio amateur for a very long time!

I love OM Begali's enthusiasm for things Morse code.  His keys are
beautiful to use and beautiful to listen to.

His new Intrepid semi-automatic key is a joy to behold.  Here it is in the
hands of the master machinest and Morse lover who made it.

Listen to the big signal from i2RTF on 14 MHz.
