[CW] Dual VS. single lever

Until recently, the problem was that most available
single-lever paddles felt like an I-beam on a pivot
compare to even average commercial iambic paddles.
Now you can get some light-touch single-lever paddles.

I learned with an Autronic paddle, and a couple of
years ago I bought two For Old Time's Sake. You can't
(easily) go back! They both went back into the 
secondary market, as I couldn't use them any more.

I have eight paddles now, all iambics. My keying
evolved into a 'hybrid iambic' - some squeeze when I 
don't think about it, but mostly a rolling wrist.
