Title: Italian Styling
Post by: cloudbase on March 30, 2018, 05:06:51 PM

It ain't just for cars and motorcycles.

I've been looking for a new key paddle for the ham shack, and came across a couple of Italian suppliers.  The stuff is not only good to use, they're works of art.

And those are just a few.  Beats the hell out of the old Bencher.

I'm glad to see that Morse code is still practiced, I was in the last intake of the NZ Army the learn Morse code, I was terrible, I think i got to 12 WPM and nobody could figure out what I was sending.
I knew a couple of guys who were in the post office sending telegrams, one of them told me he could serve a customer and still read the code.

Nobody else does it as well. Look at their boats, airplanes, etc. too.
