During the week an old Clansman PRC320 Morse key I got from a popular auction site arrived. Yesterday I gave it a clean up and fitted a replacement 3.5mm jack on it.

Got it on the air after finishing the job - I'm guessing for the first time in years. The couple of QSOs I had went well despite a few operator mistakes and I'm really happy with the way it works 😃

The plan is to use this for portable use and on activation's where the knee strap should hopefully help.

#MerchantNavy #RadioRoom 1985 I sent a lot of telegrams using that #MorseKey the little red digital clock was set to #Zulu or gmt. The small box beside it was a #SideTone generator (piezo sounder) so I could hear what I was sending

The #Begali #Adventure Dual #MorseKey arrived today and I just had to put everything aside and test it. I also bought the magnetic base and the #kx3 mounting bracket both which proved to be a fantastically inspired choice.

The craftsmanship is amazing and the feel is sublime. It's safe to say I won't think I'll ever part with it. It represents everything I ever wanted in a portable/fixed key.

The service was perfect. TU Pietro and Bruna! Proud to have become one of the elite 🙂

Here are the three keys/paddle I keep at my operating position. The Vibroplex Vibrocube, my wonderful Navy Flameproof, and my ZN-HKIII from N3ZN Keys. I probably use the ZB-HKIII the most right now for my SKCC contacts, but the Navy Flameproof is also a joy to use.

Show us your keys!
