[CW] Book: The Art of Electronics

[George Allgood]

David,

The Video of the man sending with straight key was an eye opener.   It may
be my advancing age.....or
it could be I have forgotten what they taught me years ago.   I've always
believed that sending with a straight
key or "pump handle" could best be done by placing your entire forearm
including the elbow flat on the table.
Then you activate the key with an up and down flexing action of the wrist.
I've never seen it done as portrayed in the video
with the entire arm up in the air and very lettle wrist movement.   Perhaps
I've lead a sheltered life.
