That's right.  Didn't he have a RX/TX pair from Trio-Kenwood (when they
were known more as Trio)?  One of the first Japanese radios I ever heard
of.

BYW - I can't find the message where WB6NNU was reported to be a silent
key.  I think it was Bruce who had that data?  Maybe whoever it was can
make a more definitive statement.  I am just going off that information 
and have nothing else to go on.

PS: Today's memory teaser...  what phone contest was simulated at a
club meeting by forming a circle with chairs facing outward - and 
giving eveyone a log sheet.  Am I like the only one who remembers 
this?  I am sure Marty was there.  I was W0IYP.
