[Elecraft] OT - Two learnig the code tips

[Ken Kopp]

After 55 years of CW I have two suggestions that I think are 
worth passing on ...

When using a straight key one's wrist ond/or forearm should 
never touch the desk. The thumb and fingers rest on the key 
knob and the elbow on the desk.  The wrist then becomes a 
"spring" or shock-absorber.  Sending with only wrist up-and
-down action will result in the dreaded "glass fist".

Transcribe any copy in longhand.  Most people can write much 
faster than they can print.  This is self-evident but it seems few 
do so.
