Ham Shack Accessories |
|
| Ham shacks contain miscellaneous items used from sending CW to talking on SSB to measuring and dealing with SWR. Here are a few of these type of items in my shack. | |
| Sending CW | |

Iambic Paddles From left to right: Begali Magnetic Classic (followed me home from Dayton 2008); Begali Simplex; Vibroplex standard iambic paddle - I have had this key for many years. |
| Logikey K-5 Keyer - This is a new addition (December 2006). Although all my HF radios have built-in keyers, this item makes for consistent keying and common memory use. | ![]() |

The key on the left is a Speed-X Straight key - This key was my first straight
key and has not been used in years. It has over 50 years worth of
dust on it. The key on the right is a Lafayette Radio straight key - I have had this key for a very long time. It had not been used for years until I pressed it into service for my first Straight Key Night - 2007. |

This is an old Bug marketed by Lafayette Radio. It had been in its box for years when I took it out for this picture. I had a hard time removing the plastic top, but it looks like it would still work. |
