[CQ-Contest] Foot switch recommendations

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     Most of the recommendations so far have been footswitches with the pivot 
away from the line cord.  I'm probably in the minority in that I prefer the
pivot to be near the line cord.  In fact, this is my favorite footswitch, 
sadly no longer in production:

     I actually like the fact that it's lightweight, so I can move it easily 
to different spots under the desk to vary things up during a weekend and 
reduce overall fatigue.
