From the collection of KDØUE

Our annual "Key Day" meeting is always a popular event, and this one, held at the offices of OHR and Morse Express, was no exception. Marshall gave a great presentation on how to build a key from a clothespin and thumbtacks (see the attached video!!) while other members displayed a large variety of keys, keyers, paddles and oscillators from their private collections - it was a fun meeting followed up with lunch at the the nearby L.D. Buffett!
