[Fists] CW sending

[N2SLB at aol.com]

Happy we are fighting over keys.  I use two.  One is a cheap  brass Ameco 
that I bought in 1992 when I was first licensed.  Still works  great.  Down the 
road I bought aBencher keyer which is a fine  paddle.   I cannot use a bug, but 
I have heard splendid CW from a bug  over the years.  The Bencher is 
connected to an MFJ Electronic Keyer which  allows speed control, etc.  Both keys are 
connected to the radio by a split  so that I can use either.  If the other 
person reads very slow, I find it  easier to send on the straight key although I 
imagine you can get great speed  out of it.  Also like to work with SKCC 
members many of whom are  Fists.  I also built a Tick 3 keyer which is used to send 
CW.  It  sure is a great hobby.  I stare at the mike and it looks at me in  
bewilderment.  I tell it to rest on the radio and enjoy.  73
