[CW] Straight key vs paddle

[Michiel Wories]

Hi all,

Lots of useful suggestions and heard some rationale to use a straight key. Would it impair my ability to learn straight key if I started with a bug first?

Thanks,
Michiel

I agree with Larry.  One of the nicest compliments I've had was when switching from a bug to straight key was "Wow! A W1AW fist."  I still chuckle over that one.

Did you ever see so much signature that didn't say anything?
