Hi Jim, I too went into the Army after a year of college My draft number was low so signed up to be an ASA fighter up in Devens. Went to electronics training right out of Basic and became an Intercept

I have used my propane torch. On long wire runs. Have to be careful with the heat but it did work. Also in the summer have driven my tractor over and used the inverter to drive my weller gun. Most of

Nicely made. I took a similar approach on my QCX. A 2 piece case. QCX Pic It doesn't apply here but for outdoor use use white if possible. Been using Fusion 360 for 3 years.

Been making some changes to my keys. Here is a preview: Link for details at the bottom.

I have been using small morse keys and offering them to others. My smallest is a straight key that weighs about 20 grams (.7 oz) The mini-mini Recent review of the mini-mini key by Craig WB3GCK
