[TenTec] WBL Paddle

[Joe L Blackwell]

Hi Vin, de Joe AA4NN
I would say if you have been using the straight key for all those
years at 20-25 wpm, you are certainly not in the "slow speed"
category.  Guys with paddles don't even go that fast.  Get yourself
a paddle or "bug" and enjoy QSOs upwards of 35wpm.  Keyboard?
Keyboards are good, eliminate errors, good copy for receiving guy.
Plus it's fun to send CW by alternate means.
73, de Joe AA4NN
