Bryon,
I am a CW Academy Advisor for the intermediate+ and advanced classes.
I am not exactly close, near the Sam Houston Race track.
I do have a bencher - that you can use and return.
I recommend the CW Hotline $50 or the Vail adaptor $25

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Hello BVARC,
I'm signed up for the CW Academy Beginner Class which starts January
5th.
I'm a bit apprehensive about this, but I'm going to "give it the old
college
try".
They tell me I need:
4) A paddle key (preferably not a Straight Key or Bug)
5) A keyer or radio with a built-in keyer, that produces sufficient
side-tone volume that can be picked up by the webcam mic
I'm hoping that someone in the club might have a paddle and keyer that
they
would be willing to part with or loan me for a couple of months. I
don't
currently have an HF radio, so I guess I need a keyer and a paddle.
I've
been told that Bencher is the most popular and MFJ has one that "looks
just
like it".
Thanks,
Byron
