A Miniature, Portable CW Keyboard: Operate keyboard CW via the touch of a pencil

摘要

Various keying methods have been devised to enable an operator to send Morse Code. Early on in my ham radio career, I started out with an old, trusty manually operated straight key. As my speed increased, I progressed to a Vibroplex bug that provided automatic dot creation and manual dash generation. I never really perfected the coordination needed to send smooth CW with the bug. Then I purchased an electronic keyer and paddle. The electronic keyer provided a method to send both automatic dots and dashes, but sending smooth, error-free fast CW was still a challenge for me. Next came the computer revolution and software to send Morse Code using a computer keyboard. This provided a method of sending perfect code very fast.
