[CQ-Contest] Dual foot switch

[Michael Tope]

FYI,

If you can't find them on the surplus market as Tom
suggests, McMaster Carr has a good selection of 
various foot switches (including small pressure sensitive
mats) for industrial applications. Check em out at
www.mcmaster.com.

Hi All.

In doing some schoolwork(transcribing) I found that the foot
switch we use has two sets of contacts.  Right side moves the
transcriber forward, and the left side moves it backward.  That
would work good for keying a SO/2R setup.  One side can key each
radio.  Needless to say, I picked up an old one for my use.  (Now
I have a switch, but only one radio).  If you live near a
Community College, you might check to see if they have any old
switches they want to get rid of.
