[Fists] Iambic Keying

I use iambic keying, mode A, on a daily basis. I find mode B with its 
"trailing dit" very clumsy; but it appears to be the default, and only, mode 
on many rigs' built-in keyers.

May I suggest those of you who don't enjoy, or can't get the hang of 
operating iambically, to try mode A. You'll soon wonder why you've gone so 
long without it.

BTW: I use a 25-year-old Bencher and Logikit CMOS-4 keyer. Also in daily 
use, E.F. Johnson Speed-X straight key. I switch to the Speed-X for 
sub-20-wpm QSOs.
