[Elecraft] For All CW Enthusiasts...

Here's another video of Denise at work from another angle.

The "wrist roll" was taught to me many years ago and, for me, made all the
difference in sending with a bug, both in making decent characters and in
being able to send for a long time without tiring. 

Indeed, although I used paddles & keyer for a number of years, I never got
used to the extremely sensitive paddles because it's still more comfortable
to roll my wrist. 

That action helps with the timing, acting like a metronome to keep a stable
pace.

After watching the video, I went into the shack and opened up all the  
adjustments on my bug.  And increased the spring tension.  I have not  
been sending near aerobic enough.  Now I know what full contact CW  
looks like.  But I don't know if I could ever get used to that buzz  
note side tone.  I will not complain about my K1 note again.  At least  
not for awhile.
