The silent key I remember most was Gus Browning, W4BPD, of Cordova, SC. 
Gus gave me a lot of new ones in the early 1960's.....

I worked Gus at FR7ZC/J, 9U5BH, 9U5ZZ, ZD9AM, etc.  I was running a 
Viking Valiant with 275 watts on CW and Hornet TB-500 Tri-Bander on my 
parent's roof.. I listened on a National NC-57B receiver... Those days 
were really exciting for me as I first got on as K4JAG in the summer of 
1959...

My DX Elmers were K4RPK, W4MCM, W4SSU, W4TO... All

73,

John, W4NU

(K4JAG,. 1959 to 1998)
