Silent Key is a term of respect for a deceased amateur radio operator. The “key” in the term refers to a telegraph key; the instrument that many amateur radio operators use to send Morse Code. The term SK is used in telegraphy to indicate the end of transmission. Today, the term is commonly used within the radio community as a sign of respect and condolence.
