[Milsurplus] U-boat video clip

[Gregory W.Moore]

GA, Hue,

Boy, am I surprised!! I have the EXACT same key as shown in the video of
the Funkenraum :-) Yup, I am of German decent --hi--.. Anyhow, I happen
to be the nephew of the late, great, Lou Moreau W3WRE, who, as everyone
knows, was a foremost collector of telegraph keys.  After she passed
away, we honored her request for the keys allegedly to go to W1AW (at
least my parents did) but I managed to squirrel away a few for a rainy
day, and to use. I think they are Lorenz manufacture, but I could be
wrong, there really aren't any makers marks on the key itself....

Anyhow, if anyone is interested in a pix of said key, I will get a photo
of it against a decent background, and post it. I actually use it with
my rig as it has a great action, and I rotate amongst other WWII mainly
Navy keys (ole RM myself).....

let me know, guys, if ya want a pix up close and personal
