- Morse Code (CW) QSO on ARRL Straight Key Night 2017
Using a 1977 TenTec Century 21 with a Navy Flameproof straight key I am contacted by K4IIE in Georgia and we exchange information about our old ham radio equipment during ARRL Straight Key Night.

The rhythm for callsign "AA4OO" is the best I've heard - what a great callsign to have in every respect!
I’ve been learning CW for a year now, and even though I’m new, I could easily copy your fist. Excellent timing and excellent separation between words for nice copying. Well done!
Great to hear!
Love my 26003a. Very robust, no-nonsense brass. (OK, cast iron.) And you can't beat the styling. Next to a shiny classic brass key, this one gets the most attention from onlookers.
Thanks for posting this! I'm working hard on my Morse and taking this down is proving excellent practice!
Hi Rich
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that. Was radio op in the army and have ham licence but am not on the air. You never ever forget the code, do you!! Again, it was a pleasure. You have a nice, easy to read fist and I can say the same for K4iie. I enjoyed the QSO between the two of you...
go raibh maith agat (thanks)...
When I took my Extra test in 89, a WWII radio operator drove his 15 year old grandson to take his test. The old man wasn't a ham, but he copied the 20 wpm test and passed. Said he hadn't messed with code since the war.
I got a chuckle over the flamless key remembering my service as a radioman 3rd on a fleet oiler. We had a "normal streight key". The ship carried black oil and aviation fuel!! USN 64-67
Really enjoyed, I’m learning the
Codes and practice drilling with a straight key but still not good enough at receiving but at the speed you are using I feel it’s extremely helpful. Thanks!
Richard, I enjoy your keys and Century 21 rig! You have a great fist! Keep up the good work!
Awesome. As I get back into CW some (was never that fast to begin with) I hope to cu on the air one day. Thanks for posting!
I like the TenTec Century 21.
I have a similar set up that I use for SKCC. I have the Century 21 and a surplus Army Signal Corp J-38.
I bought two from the people that bought the bunnell company, they were selling the last of the new old stock left, they also gave 7 pages of specs for the key and a paper with the bunnell paper stamp, they sold them pretty fast, they sold out a little after I bought mine.the add is still up on the internet. These keys were also used to operate the ships signal lights, you can tell if they were used for signal lights because the nob skirt has stamped on it, do not close for over 2 min. I looked around on the internet and I believe the Germans actually made this key first Before WW2. or vise versa. not sure. but the Germans used the same key at one time. enjoy
I miss my buddy's Century 21 and I love my Navy Flameproof key. GUD VID OM VY 73

Muito bom Rich AA4OO! E Louis K4IIE ....De PY3LTK 73!
I've heard the old TT century 21's have decent filtering for a CW only rig.......I'd be ok with one I think.....for what it is, it ain't bad....love the filtering on my K1's.......but sure like the old tube stuff, a VFO or Xtals, and old-time receivers.....
Very neat Rich and nice rhythm with your wrist. FB
I got to find me one of those Navy Flame proof keys.
Wow I was a radioman 3rd on a fleet oiler in the mid sixtys and we had "normal keys" ! We carried black bunker oil and aviation fuel, l and lots of it!
Excellent skill!!! If I would hear of You in air, I would will be sure that keying in automatic key!!!

Nice fist. wondering if you are using American style (with elbow on table) or European style (with elbow in air)? Good copy OM 73
I do miss subtitles in this video.
They said:
Dit dit dah dit dah dah dah dit dah dah dit dah dit dah dit dah dit dah dit dah dah dah.
Like an old Three Stooges skit, LOL
Nice fist...way cool Ten Tec Century 21 radio! I really like seeing live CW QSO's in action.
Thank you sir
Very nice, I have exactly the same key!
The Navy Flameproof is a great key. I wish I had room on my desk for all the keys I enjoy using.
I like the morse code. As soon as possible, I'd like be enjoying the communication.

I just got a navy flame proof. Pretty happy about it! haha What size screws did you use to mount it to the block of wood?
Whatever I had in a junk drawer, they don't all match.
Только фанаты остались, 73
good key! How can I buy it?thank you!
Nice cool video please do more best 73s de a71br
Is there a contact in the upstroke of that key?
The contact occurs at the bottom of the downstroke. Internally, the physical contact occurs on top of the back of the lever.
At first i m a beginner,so i say that someboby do "dit" whit up hand and "dat" whit down hand.Somebody tell me that's not right,and "dit" and "dat" do in key in same mode,whit hand down...phernaps are two different school only.cu and gl 4 all cw ham.Gabriele from Sicily

hey.....I'm good with some bencher paddles, but love straight keys.....I sometimes have long R's and K's.....with a straight key.....I started out with a DX-40, Knight VFO, and a S-53A, a handful of xtals, and an old ameco straight key with a sounder, so I would not overload the front end of the RCVR.....now, I do SOTA and QRP with two K1's.....have an off-grid hamshack in SW Montana.....de AB5ZA/7....dit dit....
Howdy neighbor. Vy cool history u hv. 72 de N6MGN dit dit
That's not a mistake, that's deliberate, and accepted practice, Morse is FLEXIBLE believe it or not! :-)

Yanks and ARRL comercialied Amateur Radio too much. Today it is no the same as 30 years ago. Today QRP frq were overtaken by digital modes. Awful.
