[Elecraft] Straight key first?

[Lou Kolb]

I get exactly that same benefit from using a keyboard keyer.  Exposure to 
good code, I think, really does breed better sending.  If you're a good 
enough typist, you can, as has been mentioned, just let the buffer fill, 
(200 characters in my case) and just enjoy the music of Morse.  Lou --
