I can play a musical beat or morse by hand through my relay by keying one side of my paddle. No straight key yet. I added a radio shack 120/12v 450ma transformer and used doorbell wire (taped to the ext cord that powers everything) to the key and back down to 120v relay (12vac coil). I know its highly illegal to use a spark gap transmitter but just running a spark gap coil normally would be just as illegal right? I know it doesn't get into my tvs or lights or my 2 meter fm radio (antenna shares ground with tesla coil). Have yet to check it out with 160m-10m hf ssb/cw rig. Its not something I plan on doing (morse code) but the keyer works like a dead key.
