[CQ-Contest] Foot switches ?

[Tom Horton]

For years I used an old j-38 key mounted on a piece of 1/4 plywood. Also have used a home made switch with two pieces of aluminum and a spring, $3.00 footswitch found a most any ham swapmeet, a sewing machine foot switch and one of the best things I ever had was mounting a footswitch to the side of the cubbyhole of my desk and using it as a "knee" switch. It never slipped away.
73 and happy footswitching...

Nice looking - could probably sell an article to say "Machinist Workshop" here in the USA - they do short articles on simple items
