[CQ-Contest] Foot switches ?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I use an old dictating machine footswitch that I got for $10 at a local 
consignment store.  Nice and heavy, and it even has 3 separate switches, 
though I have not figured out how to use that...

I put a strip of Velcro hooks on the bottom of the switch, and it stays 
put absolutely on the Berber carpet in the shack.

73, Pete N4ZR
