Ok...The keyer issue is a dead duck. Once I recovered from my temporary insanity I realized I was thinking of my IC-7000. BTW: The best antenna for CW is a Windom. The dits and dahs automatically flow to the appropriate side of the feedpoint which insures proper transmission ratio. Just be certain your Windom is fed at the 1/3 point. If both receiving and transmitting stations are using Windoms, fading is virtually eliminated. One should take care to install the wire parallel to the ground otherwise dits or dahs will be missing, depending on the direction of the slant.
