I think I have been following this thread pretty closely, and I don't 
recall anyone saying K7JA was slapping the paddle.  I think you may be 
confusing things with a recent post that I made, in which I indicated 
that Walter Winchell was slapping a bug (and producing random garbage). 
  I saw K7JA sending, and believe me, it was not slapping. It was solid 
technique, and I was amused that he had such presence of mind that he 
actually adjusted the position of the Bencher before starting.

best wishes,
