I now completed my collection of Begali Keys! In January 2023, I purchased the Begali Camelback straight key. It became my standard straight key for use at the main operating position. Being a lover of bugs, I ordered the Intrepid in August of 2024. Finally, decided to complete the collection with a nice paddle so the Contour with my callsign engraved was a Christmas present for me.
I consider Begali some of the finest Morse Code instruments available. In the new year, I will be purchasing their Postal Key for the Drake station.
