hi all,
I was wondering how to go about making a code key for myself, i just want 
to be able to say i did it, if infact i can, and who knows, anyway i 
attempted to make some electronic in summer school at the school for the 
blind now not sure what its called, or if it is still nebraska school for 
the visually handicapped but i remember getting all the parts for what i 
was going to build, going to radioshack to get the wstuff, and ending up 
draining the 9 volt battery, i wasn't making a code key however some other 
show off in the class made his and was bragging but that was the first i 
realized all my ham stuff went in one ear and out the other sadly, it was 
supposed to be a timer of some sort with a buzzer, a switch(button more 
exact) and a battery.  well, as i said i ended up draining the 9v when i 
pressed the button  and not to mention the book the teacher borrowed the 
pages out of and let us thermoform, the lines with intermitant dots did 
not make a load of sense to me, im thinking i would have had a half a clue 
but obviously i didnt.  I want to make things cuz i think it would be kind 
of fun but where would be a simple-ish start, i'm thinking a code key
I just hope the stuff i learned from the previous licenses wasn't a total 
waste
i guess the only thing i learned in that summer class was how to drain a 
battery really quick :p
