[Elecraft] Getting Started With CW

[Leroy Marion]

I have from the Schurr Profi to home made keys.
 One of the best I have is the Norcal paddles  Kit key,.
It’s a magnetic(versus springs ) type key. I did put silver contacts on it.
It was picked up by Vibroplex and made as the Code Warrior, I think.
            I don’t think Elecraft sells the magnetic paddles by Bencher anymore.
              Another favorite that is in use right now is the N3ZN key, also magnetic tension.
           Now that my hand has become partially paralyzed, I am using  computer key board
Keying, and I like it a lot. Probably the wave of the future and the saving technology for CW.
Also used for PSK31 and other modes.

I like the comment about going through an intermediate step... Maybe I'll look at a paddle instead. 
So what's this about iambic? What are the types of paddles out there?
