[Elecraft] Not moving your wrist sending CW ?

[Clay Autery]

I am an old Infantryman and Aviator.  And I have been out a long time, 
but I STILL use many of the "pro-words"...

Especially, I spell, phonetic alphabet, at al....
I use "say again <optional>" in conversation without thinking....  Hey, 
it works.

73,
