Hello All:

this is Chris HS0ZFE outside Bangkok. operation is limited to an hour
Wednesdays at a club station named HS0AC (at 13 hours UTC, catch me on 20 m
in vy QRS).

The paddle a kind OP lent me with a FT-757 GX is not usable for me. the
finger pieces are wobbly and move on their own, making accuracy even at 5
wpm impossible.

We all have our opinions about "quality" and a "solid feel" when sending.
I'm going to order some keys and hope to find good ones.

Ordered some used Vibroblex and Benchers. Then 2 from K8RA. Next, I'll place
orders with Piero I2RTF and am waiting for confirmation of an order from a
world class OP, Alberto I1QOD www.i1qod.it  www.K8RA.com and www.I2RTF.com

One straight key should be at hand. Another tough decision.

Last Friday, Finn OZ1HET who is a First Class Operator, showed me his
station and had a QSO. Copying in his head while entering the contact in his
log. Who says men cannot multitask?!?

shame about missing last weekend's FISTS QRS Contest (named differently,
like Get Your Feet Wet). hope many of you fellow beginners had a blast!

73 de Chris HS0ZFE, KF6VCI, MI1ESG
