Re: Silent Key Photos

Re: QRP portable power
Yeah, mine is similar but with a green label and a USB instead of the 12 volt. Very cool stuff and to get cool stuff on clearance and local is even better!

QRP portable power
I am seeing small Lithium Ion power packs that are designed for cell phones and other portable electronic devices at radio shack on clearance.

Re: Tavern?
Looks good Vince. I will be around later to give it a proper going over. Work has had me by the shorthairs as of late.
