Good spot LS.
That's a lot of money though especially if the transmitter is designed for CW only.
There is another option prospective NVIS operators might like to consider.
Buy a basic HF transceiver at a Ham fest ( £120 up ) and add a tone capable key (£35 up)
(For the novices that's a Morse key that generates an audible 'beep' into the mic socket )
and you'll have the best of all worlds.
Voice and CW.
It's quite a common technique with users of "slightly naughty" CB sets.
