[CW] Straight key vs paddle

[K0HB]

No, it won't impair your ability a bit.  They are two different skills.  Do what works for you.

  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?
