I use my old J-38 straight key wired to a RCA plug that goes into the PTT jack 
on the rear of the K3. The advantage is that you don't have to pick it up to 
use it or put it down to type. Easy to wire up too. Buy an audio cable, lop off 
one connector, dress the leads out and connect them to the key binding posts. 

BTW, have you considered using VOX in the contest?  Completely hands free.
