[Elecraft] Straight key first?

[WILLIS COOKE]

Wayne, congratulations!  It did not take you long to find the secret.  I still 
listen to W1AW code practice from time to time and I have only been licensed 
since 1956.  It always pays to listen to well sent code from time to time along 
with the hodge podge of good and not so good code you hear on the air.  It is 
great to be able to copy anybody and it is also great to be able to send so that 
anybody can copy.

I'm too new to this to know much, but it seems to me that one might best 
learn to send Morse well by copying a lot of well sent Morse.  I only 
say this because I listened to computer generated Morse for months 
before I got on the air.  When I finally did send, I got compliments 
right away on my fist.  All I was doing, though, is sending the same 
rhythm I'd been hearing for months.

If this was already said, then I apologize for the redundant repetition :)
