[600MRG] XIQ and XJM CW in EM75xr

It is running an 811 (not 811A) that I just picked up from a local 
hamfest last weekend.  At the moment, it is driving my SB-1000 for 500W 
TPO to overcome QRN (Hartley MOPA!).

I am also working on a push-pull TPTG (tuned-plate tuned-grid) OT rig.  
Latest pic of the rig being tested as a parallel pair of 809s:

As far as the recorded CW.... I was checking things out while John's 
WSPR transmission was completing, kind of amusing myself.  Key is a 1962 
Vibroplex Champion.  I was laying the swing on pretty heavy in that 
audio clip.  I generally try to send more "straight" CW when in QSO, as 
the swing tends to make non-OT ops sea-sick!  However, it is actually 
less tiring on the fist and fun to "banana boat".
