[Elecraft] Straight Keys, Paddles and Bugs

[WA6L]

How true that is.  After years and years of using a paddle, I am learning to
use a Bug.  It is quite a challenge.  But as you say, it puts the fun and
the individuality back into CW.  

I think if I ever ran out of new things to learn, I would give up Ham Radio. 
But luckily there is no danger of that.

Hope your new K3 arrives soon!
