  • I think that I read somewhere that during World War II, resistance radio operators used such keys and to protect the content of their messages, they DID eat the key to prevent enemy cryptanalysts from reading the messages. This had the unfortunate effect of aiding the German radio intelligence agents, in that, anyone found in possession of a banana in occupied territory was arrested immediately as a spy. SOE training to use other common objects as keys came later in the war.  (Yeah - suuuure!)

  • That’s a sign of a good CW operator, being able to send quite well with an improvised key. Just don’t eat the key :)
