Over the last 37 years of hamming 99% of my CW has been with a STRAIGHT key
at 20 - 30 WPM. I never liked electronic keyers. I am, however, starting
to use one of my many Vibroplex bugs.

Subject: [TenTec] Operating CW
This summer I hope to do some CW work with my 1340, and maybe my old
Atlas if I can get it working (but that radio would most likely see
mobile operation SSB). Anyhow, how do most people do CW? I've seen
stuff for keyers, paddles, and the like; I'm wondering, what does most
people use to do CW? I'm just starting off; I passed my 5wpm a long
time ago, but I'm trying to re-learn at 20wpm. I am hoping (it's a
remote one) to make general before this summer, otherwise I'll be
confinded to the Novice bands.
Also, has anyone tried the keyer from Ten Tec? I'd rather buy stuff
from them, as I like kit building, and they seem to be a good company.
Thanks.
