[CW] Fw: CW beta tester needed

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 19:08:27 -0400

As you know Tony, there are different designs of the "iambic" style of
keyer.  They all make a "iamb" - a dit-dah, but the way they handle the key
presses is quite different.

I highly recommend the Curtis type "A" method because in my opinion and the
opinions of others, is much easier to learn because it gives you less chance
to "false" the key. In other words, you have to be deliberate to send with
it.

I wonder if this new keyer operates with a different method and if so, what
it might be?

WOW,
Sounded good until he hit the "IAMBIC" subject.
Just had a thought, maybe he learned IAMBIC and that could attribute to his
claim of not being an avid CW operator...wouldn't be the first casualty
claimed by  Mr. Iambic's design.  Design a non-iambic keyer and I'd be happy
to run it thru the wringer.
