Hi Dani, good job.
Sounds great, and looks fine at that high speed!

That homebrew key reminds the Te-ne-Ke design.
Hope to work you soon with it,

Hi Dani,
really nice!
Where did you get the copper spring-elements? The EMI shielding fingers known form WG0AT’s construction (https://nitter.net/wG0AT/status/1189297567512911872#m) seem to be US local product…

Nice key on a good thread. Thanks for this. Just ordered Liard fingerstock with knife edge: https://www.mouser.ca/datasheet/2/987/EMI-DS-FINGER-LARGE-ENC_1112-1590607.pdf

Hi Greg.
Remove the copper foil from the shield of a TV transformer in scrapping.
You can see it more clearly in the photo. A red arrow indicates the site.

Bravo, Dani!
Recycling and reusing as much as we can must be always present in our minds.
