After last December's FCC event, I got interested in CW again.
Over the last 20 years or so, I've listened but haven't operated.
Last week I began experimenting with my keyer, an original WB4VVF
accukeyer with a big 256 bits of memory, and a Brown Bros. BTL.
After a couple frustrating days of sending "R" instead of "A", adjusting
and reajusting the spacing on the paddle, and more practice, I've gotten
to the 80% mark on sending at maybe 15 WPM.
This is from being out of practice, maybe a little arthritis, maybe a
little shakiness from age.
Then I found a couple websites that discuss proper IAMBIC-B sending, key
spacing, and even a site that claimed that IAMBIC-B squeeze keying was
"harder", more timing sensitive, than non-IAMBIC keying.
What I'm asking for are tips and opinions on keying technique with an
IAMBIC keyer. I saw a video on the web showing a proper bug technique.
