Hi Jonesy,
I used bugs through 50s and 60s then got mighty curious to try one of
those automatic keyers.  Best move I ever made.  Now in 21st century I
still have some old bugs and even a new vibroplex.  Every now and then I
get out a bug thinking I'll make some QSOs.  I play with it some and
usually end up not satisfied with how my character spacing sounds, so
it's back on the shelf and I am back to the paddle.  You never forget how
to ride a bicycle but there's some technique that gets lost somewhere
along the way.

My free advice to you is give it a try.  You're bound to like it.  It's
that pesky technique that takes such a long time to master.
73, Joe, aa4nn
