One of my hamradio friends owns a French Dyna Maniflex #sideswiper #morsekey from the fifties in excellent condition. This key was used on an airplane by the Royal Dutch KLM. #hamradio #amateurradio #cw4ever

Homebrewing a #morse key doesn’t need to be expensive. Build a key with components you have available. Be innovative. Build a #sideswiper aka a #cootie key. It’s very simple and one of the funniest key to use.
