On the topic of keys, paddles, and bugs, I wonder if members of the list would tell
me how they keep key contacts clean and reliable. Do you regularly burnish key
contacts? Do you use a chemical cleaner (e.g. de-oxit)? Do you maintain a
minimum keying current? Or do you simply never have a problem?
Please share your wisdom and experience.
I use a small piece of heavy bond paper [a bit rough], put it between
the contacts, hold them closed, and pull the paper out. About twice a
year seems to do it just fine.
