[MRCA] Pogo Stick CW keying Sunday Night

[Stew Beckley]

Aloha Breck,

You might try a more exotic (and safer) keying method with your pogo stick,
one that Tom (W2ILA) pulled off, c. Feb 2003 on a very cold Sunday eve on
the 3570 kc CW OMRN, by putting a J-38 between a long piece of wire and his
BC-221 freq meter. He was weak, but sounded great! I miss you guys...

73,
Bud, WA2AUI/KH6

I've had several email  with queries about how I keyed the Pogo Stick to 
check in to the CW net.  I just lifted the B plus wire  and inserted a 
straight key and keyed the entire transmitter and all of its stages. Key 
was hot with B plus but only 120 volts. Sorry If I disappointed  those 
interested as I did not  not do something more exotic.  Maybe when 
conditions improve this winter I might try the Oh Dark Thirty Sat 
morning net with the Pogo on AM "with carrier." The modulation on the 
set is excellent.
