[Elecraft] CW Setup

[kevinr at coho.net]

After ten years of using CW almost daily I tried a straight key for the 
first time.  I was amazed at how simple it was to form characters; the 
spacing was built in to me.  My K2's keyer with paddles made my ears 
(and muscles) sensitive to the variety of spaces we use.  I can't use a 
straight key for long because of wrist injuries but it is nice to know 
how easy it is to use if I have to.

    73,
