[CQ-Contest] Follow-up note on a QRQ keyer

[Barry]

Sorry to interrupt the discussion on emergency nets...  :.)

You may recall, several weeks ago I posed a question about getting a 
keyer that sends faster than 60 WPM via the paddles.  I'm currently 
using a CMOS Superkeyer III.  With some help from one of the keyer's 
designers (KC0Q) I now have a solution - I overclocked it.  The keyer 
is designed with a 2 MHz ceramic resonator for timing.  I replaced it 
with a 3 MHz ceramic resonator.  I have to multiply everything that's 
calibrated (speed, sidetone, etc.) by 1.5 for the true result, but it 
did the trick.

I don't know if anyone else would ever have the need for such a 
thing, but it's now in the archives for posterity.
