>> Hi. I dug out my old Heath keyboard and found it to be somewhat

>> I am, therefore, looking for a CW keyboard. Who has what and why, and
>> what do you like?  How is the MFJ models?  I don't use one except for
>> very high speed CW or when rag chewing as such, so would like some
>> discussion as to what you may use or why you use it, etc.
