@bud_t @admin No, I don't think that's a good strategy. I started out with a straight key many years ago and never really developed a great fist. You really can't really tell how good or bad your fist is, unless you record yourself and play it back. With a paddle and keyer, you can be sure, at least that the dits and dahs are consistent. As I say, the CWops CW Academy requires students to learn with a paddle.

Unfortunately, no one would come to my funeral.@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon When it comes to attending funerals, I follow Yogi Berra's advice. He is purported to have said, "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."
