Thanks for the vblog. Any vblog is good that shows the Vail code and on/off keying. Not that there is anything wrong with morse code or cw. Just try to send a message with continuous wave, never changing always on. You couldn't even ID. Nothing would have changed after 10 minutes. -=#;P
It's not iambic or the video does not show that, since the technique of the operator is not iambic. We see just a normal sensor key with two paddles, but you can put them close together and it will work the same as one. Iambic key is: left paddle - continues dits; right paddle - continues dahs (or vice versa). The touch of dit paddle brakes the sequence of dahs (and vice versa). Thanks that to make Q, L, F, Y, K and R you need only 2 touches instead of 3. For C you need 3 touches instead of 2.

it was a long day yesterday...:)
Of course 3 touches instead of 4 for "C"...:)))))))
"-" - one touch
"." - one touch (keep pressing the dah paddle)
"." - one touch and release of the both paddles.
