Keys

 

Here is my key collection. I only use manual keys, i.e., no keyer.


Here is my recently aquired 1960 Blue Racer. This is a fun bug!

This is my favorite bug. It is a Lionel J36 with Extendadot. This is the bug that I use for ragchews at 15WPM.

This is my vintage 1938 Lightning Bug. I have it set for about 25WPM for DX and Contesting. I recently used it during the CQ 160M contest.

Here is my 1977 Vibroplex Original Deluxe with Extendadot. It is set for 20WPM.

Ok, apologies to the Swedish Key below, this key is the smoothest key I have ever used. It is the Hi-Mound HK802. I originally was going to sell this for a good friend of mine, but decided to buy it myself!! It is that nice.

This is the smoothest straight key I have ever used. It is a Swedish Key with dresser drawer knob. I can get upwards of 20wpm with this key.


Here is my recent addition to my key collection. It is a Flameproof Navy Key. The knob is not the original, but it works fine with it. It is a nice, smooth key.

This is my LTA CRV Key. It was given to me as a gift from the XYL.

This is my little Vibroplex Code Mite that I use with my QRP rigs. Nice smooth action for a little key!

Here is my little Whiterook MK22 that has gone many places with me. It shows some wear. It has been to Key West and other places.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
