- I have owned, for 40 years, the best keyer paddle ever made, an original FYO made by Joe Hills, W8FYO, of Dayton, Ohio, deceased. I might consider selling it. Bids start at one million dollars. Iambi

- Why is it a "sham", Jim? (Yes, I read the jeremiad by Marshall Emm) Any key which produces good readable code would be acceptable, depending on our personal preferences and habits, to us radiomen who

- Well consider this: About ten years ago, a fine CW operator visited my shack, and expressed interest in my FT1000MP, which at the time was sort of cutting edge . I invited him to sit down and make a

- We'll have to disagree about the "little or no value". I spent a good part of my life using Morse to make a living (I'm a Master Chief Radioman, US Navy, Retired) and can send Morse with any implemen

- I can use both equally well. In fact, I noticed an oddity a couple years ago on Field Day. Using an iambic keyer paddle, sometimes I send iambic, sometimes I send swiping back and forth, sometimes I

- I have to admit that I don't have redundancy in this matter. Mark me down for a whole bunch of demerits. I made my first paddle for a homebrew TO keyer out of wood with TWO strips of aluminum because

- I heard an east coast US station calling CQ DX on 40 CW using a straight key last night. He got some replies from EU stations, too. I don't know about SS, though. I'd have a glass arm halfway through

- Paul You do yourself an injustice. You do enjoy redundancy, you CAN use an iambic keyer with your single lever paddle, just by using it conventionally. Actually it's good for discipline in sending ,
