I remember reading in an older issue of QST "How to" convert you transmitter
distributor into a CW Keying device. Re-wiring the contacts on the 
distributor
and then using specific letter for the dot, dash, letter space and word 
space.

Rather clever, I converted a T/D for myself, but I always felt kind of guity
about "ruining" it to do so.
