[TenTec] NEC, ground, grounds, radials (and keying)

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

I submitted a paper comparing the number of discrete motions needed to send 
code using an iambic key versus a single-lever paddle.  The single-lever is 
more efficient.  The ARRL said it was not interested in articles like that. 
I always call them "The A - R - double-L."

73, Mike N4NT
