BTW, I see from your website that you use a vibroplex bug. Seems like
you are not totally against crutches, Jason. What's the matter, can't you
generate those dits by hand with a straight key :):)
Bah humbug! I can and did using the dah side of the bug for a very long
time. But I hate straight keys to be honest - I can use one but it
seems like half the people in the world can't because of the number of
people who send dahs and dits with seeminly-interchangable lengths.
Semi-automatic keyers, paddles, etc. - these are operated by pure human
control by hand - it requires the movement of human muscles to form
every character sent. Same for a keyboard: one keypress, one character.
But using a computer to control the QSO via automation is where I draw
the line and where I choose to participate.
