[Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ?

[Dale Putnam]

I have a Shurr with stiff and longer finger pieces, and it compare well to any of the other paddles I have. This was one of the paddles that was being completed, when Mr. Shurr passed on. 
Have a great day, 
Dale - WC7S

I grew up with an attic full of ARC 5s.  My dad was the radar/radioman 
on B-24s and the radioman on B-17s so he kept them all in fine shape.  
When I opened one I found perfect solder joints with each resistor lined 
up EXACTLY with the next one.  Each was a piece of art which I admired.

As far as paddles?  I find I use my Schurr Profi very little.  The 
Begali Simplex is so much nicer.  If the Profi had stiff finger pieces I 
would use it much more.
