The Historic Morse Code Key
The J-38 CW key has a vast and wonderful history behind it. The J–38 key was used by all branches of the U.S. military. The J–38 key was produced by numerous manufacturers in very large numbers during the 1940’s and later.
Come to the club and see this type of key in action. The key was donated by W2BRS Patrick Keane in memory of his grandfather.
