CW
The Mode of CW (Morse)Whilst this page is called ?the Mode page? the most common entries are about the Morse code, its use and the hardware to achieve this. With that in mind it was felt that a list of the more common ?Q? codes as used by cw operators would be a good idea.For those operators already using them on a regular basis our apologies for teaching you to ?suck eggs? hi, but for newcomers they are there to help. Whilst researching for those more commonly used codes I found one that I feel is a good one but confess to not hearing it often or using it. I leave it to the reader to guess which one I mean. (find the answer at the bottom of ?construction 2?) click hereNote - If followed by a question mark then it asks the question.
Begali Traveller Paddle KeyThis key is one of a range of keys made by Pietro Begali in Italy. From the comments from operators found on e-Ham web site, all but one giving it 5 out of 5 means it does the business.As you can see it has folding legs for stability and comes complete with box to transport it safely when folded in. With gold contacts, repelling magnets and precision bearings and with a weight of about 1 pounds it is obviously a joy to use. I understand that in standard form it comes with plastic finger plates but at extra cost aluminium f / plates are available in either a short or long format and in a range of colours. I understand it is used by many owners as their main key not only when out and about but also on the shack desk for home operating.Finally, whilst talking about this make of key, one of our club members is the proud owner of the Begali Signature model and rates it up there with the best, praise indeed.
