Curtis Keyer inventor goes SK

Many seasoned CW operators will remember fondly the Curtis Morse keyer chip.

The ground-breaking device, which revolutionised electronic keyers, was developed in the late 1960s by John G. Curtis, K6KU, who was more often known as Jack.

Sadly, Jack became a Silent Key on 4 June 2018.

His legacy lives on in thousands of devices; most of today’s electronic keyers owe a debt of gratitude to him.
