[TenTec] keyer

[JAMES T BRANNIGAN]

Hello all
I'm a natural lefty....used a right handed Vibroplex bug for many 
years..(can you hold a pencil in one hand and send with the other?) 
Well, I finally built a keyer and gave up the bug (much to the 
delight of the CW community)...I modified my bug to use with the 
electronic keyer ( a W4VVF? from QST)...some time later picked up a 
Bencher and an MFJ-486 keyer....I've tried the iambic keying...it 
works fine off the air.. on the air that old bug swing comes back and 
the iambic keying goes down the drain...
now I'm looking for an old Vibroplex electronic key...I do miss the 
feel of the paddles...the old bug just sits here...I love it when new 
hams point to it and say "what the hell is that thing"
My 2 cents
