Thanks, Bill.
Sometimes I use the CW msg memories on my K3 but find it is more fun
with a manual key. I guess it is less monotonous than pushing the msg
button over and over.
Here are a couple other DX vids featuring the venerable K3:

Cool collection of keys!
Congrats.
I was quite lucky to work them with my KX2 and a random wire out the
window from my office during work hours. (Big Iron, rather Silicon is in
the basement shack.) I would hit the MSG then PRE to send my call.
After several hours of trying I was able to snag them. This was on 15
meters.
And from what I can tell, they had a super operation. Good ops, and they
appeared to hear quite well.

video of my trusty old K3 and Bunnell sideswiper in action:
