[CW] GHD Cootie

[stan levandowski]

Well, I just bought it!  Should be here in a couple days.  I was most 
concerned with how well the damper would work to cut down chatter and 
whether the key has a "soft landing" like my homemade hacksaw blade. 
 I've never enjoyed using the combination single lever paddle/sideswiper 
keys - just too abrupt for me.

Marshall Emm pretty much convinced me that the designer is an engineer 
who knows what he is doing and I have never owned a Japan-made key so 
I'm looking forward to the experience.   


I've been a ham for 57 years and I've been using bugs and 'swipers for 
the majority of that time.  I have a N3ZN paddle which I use when 
chasing rare(er) DX just for kicks.  With a callsign like WB2LQF I need 
about 30-35 wpm to compete for the standard "599 TU" QSO.  I much prefer 
a good rag chew at a more human speed with a little personality thrown 
in.


73, Stan WB2LQF
