A straight key of this sort makes your hand cry.....

I'm learning CW on a 1903 British Postal [straight] key. Ever since I've used his technique my error rate dropped to zero! He shows you starting at 2:15. It really works. Now I'm picking it up at a much faster pace! I'm learning from this man just watching him. He is a Master! When I get good at CW I'll buy a GHD. Right now I couldn't do it justice. Great video.

Good information. Thank you for putting this video together. I'm new to CW, and using a Navy Flameproof straight key.

Good tutorial! I own a GHD model GY706KIT straight key and am very happy with it. Thanks for the instructional illustration.

You don't find many ops in the USA sending with their wrist off the table like that. Most Americans prefer to use a bent lever to keep their arm down on the table. Seems like too much work to lift your arm the way he does.
GHD also sells the straight keys with the bent lever for the USA. They're a FB key for sure...

Fascinatting technique. I wish I had learned that way on my old j38. It wouldn't help me much with my homebrew doorstop-spring key now. Great to see someone who really knows how to pound brass.

This guy sends really well!...now I know why we couldn't intercept the messege about the attack on Pearl Harbor...lol!
