Some discussion on PIN QSK switches and the life expectancy of vacuum relays 
that track dots and dashes would be useful and on-topic. How are people who 
homebrew high-power HF amps handling this? 

In closing, let me say that the only way to go in a CW pileup is with a memory 
keyer. Mash the button and send your call without error. Mash another button 
and send the exchange without error (assuming you get through). The reduction 
in stress is priceless.
