Martin uses a sideswiper [Cootie] key which he has made from Meccano! You can see it in action here    • One Valve QRP Transmitter 6V6 tube   Sideswipers are very difficult to learn but Martins' fist sounds like that of a concert pianist. It’s always a pleasure to share a QSO with him and he’s very tolerant of my mistakes here as I struggle with my much loved WWII J-38 US Army Training Key. If you’re improving your CW reading speed, please check out Seiuchy by HB9FXW at seiuchy.macache.com/ Zeb has developed this program which helps train us to write down only the important details contained in a message. Zeb tells me that it will run in any browser so we don’t even need to download anything. Simply brilliant! I hope these clips are helpful - please feel free to make suggestions for improvements or new ideas. Most of all, Keep on Keying! 73 Graham
