great vid. I've been learning CW; i can send 15wpm but copying really trips me up because of hte variance in fist and send rate. I hope to get to at least 15/15 farnsworth, but i'm going to need a paddle for that. Been banging with a straight key for a few months and the iambic looks so much easier.

ur doing fine, the way u hve the key set up is for a left handed person but there is nothing wrong with a right handed person using it like u do. my wife crochets left handed and everyone she teaches right or left handed, crochets left handed.

You can set dit and dah to the left or right, it is the personal preference of the operator. I do not personally use the squeeze. Thank you for viewing.

I agree. 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.

I hear you, but its not big deal, I invite all comments. I know I have a "backwards fist", but that is the way I learned, and... theres a lot of us that key this way so it cant be wrong. Actually, there is NO WRONG WAY to key, as long as the timing and spacing are proper!
