Someone in the Nor Cal Contest Club is purported to be the custodian of
a fairly large key, used at IDXC in Visalia [I think] for "butt sending"
in the occasional QLF contest. FWIW, every QLF contest I've entered
and/or seen in the last 60+ years always provided the "key" to forestall
complaints about fairness. They didn't actually forestall any
complaints which were numerous and somewhat raucous, but it was an attempt.

When I lived in Oklahoma City, the yearly ham fest had a QLF contest.
Participants did not need to bring a key. The club had a straight key
that was about four or five feet long and about two feet wide. All
contestants used that key.
It was quite fun to watch ;o)
Good luck, Ted
