Topband: CW PADDLE AND LOSING SENSATION IN ONE'S FINGERS

[Dale Putnam]

How about the Heathkit TOUCH KEYER...
it is heavy, keys about anything, has touch paddles, and a side tone, and memory.


Have a great day,

Hello John,

How about that when the key contacts are closed:

1. A small magnetic solenoid pushes against another part of your body (such
as your other hand)?
2. A mechanical device connected to the key (such as a small flexible
plastic or metal cable-and-pulley arrangement) does the same?
