		<description><![CDATA[Can a single lever paddle be used as a sideswiper or cootie key?  And if so, how would you wire it? The original sideswiper or cootie key (sometimes also called a douple-speed key) was introduced decades before the electronic keyer and paddle were even dreamed of.  But mechanically and electrically they are very similar.  In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My digital multimeter has a continuity test, but my new analog VOM does not. Can I check continuity with my VOM, and if so, how?

The simple answer is yes.  It&#8217;s easy, and it can be more meaningful than the continuity function on a DMM (I&#8217;ll explain that in a minute). But first, here&#8217;s how [...]]]></description>

Whoa, what a question!  I mean, what is the REASON that I can have
only one?  Is it because all the key makers have gone out of business, so I get to buy one, at any cost and then never any more?  Or is it because I&#8217;m moving into an apartment and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the other names for a cootie key might be more familiar&#8211;  sideswiper, double-speed key, and slap key.  The simplest definition is a double-sided straight key, operated horizontally. 
Around 1910, during the heyday of manual telegraphy, it was common for telegraphers to spend entire shifts either sending or receiving, often at the [...]]]></description>
