Hi Tom!

Believe it or not, yes, I've actually done that. It's been several years ago
now, and I can't even remember exactly how I lost mine, but I did definitely
have a side swyper for a while. Kept it between my bug and my Brown Brothers
paddles on the bench. Think it was wired to position 4 of my key selector
patch panel. One doesn't want to have to be messing with plugs. You just
want to be able to instantly match whatever the other guy was using for
method. I've also lost my pump handle along the way, but never had to result
to doing the job by touching two wires together, hi hi. I do have some
limits, after all, hi hi.

73,
Dave

Dave,
Nope, you don't quite make the CW nut catagory, no hand key and owning a CW
keyboard should be illegal! <GRIN> Kidding of course.
Ever tried sending with a "side swiper?"
