[Elecraft] Iambic Keying - Debunking the Myth

[Lamb, Dick & Judy]

For anyone who uses a paddle but not iambic keying, and wonders  
whether iambic might be better, I'd suggest learning just a couple  
letters as a trial starter:  the letters "C" and "Q. "  You'll get  
good practice sending "CQ."  If you don't find it helpful, you  
haven't lost anything:  just return to non-iambic keying of "C" and  
"Q."  But if you find it helpful, continue by gradually learning some  
more letters in iambic.

I made the change to iambic with all letters (that are iambic) at  
once a few years ago.  I didn't find it easy, but I did find it to be  
worthwhile at my usual conversational speed of 25-30 wpm.  I don't  
see any reason why someone would have to make the change for all  
characters at once.
