At QRQ speeds above 35 wpm there is a lot of bouncing effect, you have heard me complain of this many times. All of the duel lever paddles are for iambic keying, I have found out I can use my iambic paddles thru the Winkeyer Ultimatic mode using it non iambically. So I may put my Chevron back in service to try it again thru that program. <br />I like my finger pieces to be closer together then the Chevron or Mercury. So I used the WBL model V22 non iambic paddles for many years which has adjustable arms as I like them closer to the table. As you know I bought the Begali Sculpture mono single lever about 1 yr ago, I must say they are my favorite. Of course no bouncing and Piero made me a finger piece that sits lower to the table. I can send 45 wpm much easier now with the Begali lolSteve N6TThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164756850302226894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-37768498359653361182013-10-05T13:57:54.835+09:002013-10-05T13:57:54.835+09:00Everyone,

His bug has a perfect style itself. Not so much to be changed at all. But if the inter-word spaces are a little bit more, it may sound even better to me. That was only a kind of my taste for bug keying. I am not imprudent to be willing to advise to such a proficient bug user as Don!Shin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-70263284756034653902013-10-05T11:24:14.309+09:002013-10-05T11:24:14.309+09:00Dennis,

I will get faster over time, but accuracy is now the goal. Practice with Steve in the mornings helps me a lot.<br /><br />Bands are changing.

It was good to hear your fist...<br /><br />About keys, I guess we all have our favourites. I like the Begali single lever and use it a lot with a bug emulation circuit by JA3KAB.... or I use the Viskey bug, either the vertical or the horizontal versions. Simple keys but effective....it took years to get comfortable with just these few keys after trying very many. Now I don't change around much...<br /><br />Shin your Chevron or Mercury always sounds great but I could never afford them !!<br /><br />Chat to you both soon I hope,.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623377142698276258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-67592427056051201552013-10-04T23:25:12.481+09:002013-10-04T23:25:12.481+09:00Don,
