[Troy,w6hv via CW]

I too have been amazed at her capability and wondered how she could send with those LONG fingernails!!

      An amazing performance and the quality of the fist is very good.   I've seen a video of DA sending with a hand key and her fingers fly there too.   
     BTW, does anyone know how she is doing?

  DA sends with her flying fingers! I learned to send by rolling my forearm.

  RCA KPH operator Denice Stoops (DA) uses a wonderful fingerwork flourish but it isn't the way I was taught to avoid cramping and other bug-a-boos of bug sending. 

  Here is a video of myself at a Speed-X semi-automatic key - I discuss sending and set up of bug:

  Here is a closeup of bug setup looking at the damper adjustment - "just so it touches the wheel on the damper - and the damper wheel is unrestrained so that it moves!".

  I always asked the best operators I ever heard for advice and I was told I could send faster, longer, and clearer by rotating the forearm to send.  I have found this to be true. 

  More on KPH including a half hour video and more DA sending!

  Even though I recommend my method of bug sending, I could watch DA sending forever!  I'm boring next to her!
