Really nice working Sandy. I would love to try one of thoose....

@weetobe Yes,the little bug is there.It's a red one on my vibroplex.Guess some older models may have had a golden bug.Good idea to increase gaps between characters when learning the code like you say!I think the g4fon program does that.I was one of the lucky one's and took to code like a duck to water!

@g0vqw You're right. If one wants to slow down it would be wise to keep characters as-is and take a longer break in-between. The name "bug" : is there still the golden beetle attached to the base plate? :)
I think most ham radio ops do not know where the nick "bug" comes from!

@weetobe With a bug you can "personalise" your code more.You are correct in that the ratio's can get screwed up!I try to keep the ratios as near as 1/3 as I can but fully understand what your saying.When I first started to copy bug cw I had the same trouble.But you will soon get an ear for it!Since I made this video I have had a new spring fitted so can now achieve 1/3 with it easier.
Yes,the key is harder to adjust than an electronic keyer.But I think it's got more character.I love my bug!

Yes, a nice keyer. Somehow I find it difficult to read that kind of "fist "since dots and dashes will not come out with 1/3 ratio. How to QRS or QRQ? One must adjust the pendulum's position, which isn't very convenient...

Is this a original model ? It sound great . I used the army text book adjustment method with a feeler gauge on my J-36. You seem to have developed a good feel for for the ratio's.

@ttyradio Yes. This is an Original deluxe. I love it. But would love a J36 more... I used one a while back and It felt smoother than the Vibroplex.
