[Elecraft] Iambic Keying - Debunking the Myth

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thank you for putting the other side of the case, I'm one of those 'who are
still trying to figure out how the wind blows'.

I have a K3 on order and purchased a HexKey at the same time, thinking it
would be rather nice to have a key from Elecraft to go with the K3.

However, as yet I can't send any Morse, having only got to the point of
'almost' reading it all, and that at rather low speed.

So, I'm not sure whether to keep the HexKey on order, since shipment to the
UK would be expensive if I wasn't shipping the K3 + as well. Or if I should
go for a much cheaper single paddle alternative from the UK.

I know this will be a matter of personal preference, but that's hard to make
with previous experience at all to fall back to.
