[Elecraft] O.T. Learning Morse Code

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

A final comment to the issue of keyboard vs mill.  I find that the keyboard tactile feel is not as good as a old hard mechanical mill.  Albeit you need more pressure to complete the stroke, but it is positive.  Something like the feedback sound of the paper being hit.  I think mainly because I learned to type on a mill decades ago, hi.  But here is one thing I will comment on, when typing at high speed on a teletype machine you can get to the point of going fast enough to actually feel the actuator riding over the cam...  Quite a sensation at the limit of the machine, 60 wpm as I recall.
