As I recounted earlier, I met Tommy, N1SPY, at Dayton this year, while doing booth duty at the CWops’ booth. Tommy used my study guides to get his Tech and General Class tickets, and I signed his study guide for him. He and I (and his father, NO2CW) talked about operating CW, and what might make a good key to buy.
As you can see below, they purchased a Vibroplex paddle, and Tommy is now on his way to becoming a hotshot CW operator:
I told him that I’m going to be listening for him on 40m. If you hear him on the air, give him a call.

Met him at vendor night,FDIM. As I recall, on your suggestion just for the experienc!e, to try the Extra exam, he went for it and went home with the Extra ticket and a CWGeek botton. Congratulations Tommy!

My mistake, Tommy went home with a General Ticket.
