You know, it's a funny thing. I just noticed last weekend that I use an
iambic keyer but half the time I press the paddles separately and half the
time I squeeze both when needing iambic functions. I once used a bug back
in the days when keyers were not yet really common.
Anyway, my own sending habits struck me as a bit odd when I realized what
I did and I wondered why I do it that way.
