Well I had a bug about 50 years ago and as I recall I didn’t do very well so I went to a straight key. Later I moved to an Iambic paddle and a keyer and can run it pretty well at 20 wpm. Lately I’ve gotten the bug ( pun intended) and bought a new shinny classic deluxe from the folks at Vibroplex. Well I got it wired up and quickly discovered that all the hours spent using the paddle didn’t help much with the bug. In fact they probably made it more difficult. My fist still wants to hold the paddle to make multiple dahs..... So if you hear me sending CQ ( I can do that pretty well ) and decide to give me a call, please be gentle! I still have to get use to hearing the damper weight click when the arm swings back for a dah... maybe I can wear ear plugs.... wait...
73 es be gentle...
