DP> Yes, I agree Richard.  Personally, I do prefer to use a straight key.

I also use a straight key most of the time.  I have an old heavy key
made by Brown Bros in St. Louis MO.  Also have a heavy base with a
straight key and iambic paddle on it made by "the Ham-Key Co" in St.
Louis MO also.  I haven't seen an add by either since I got these
about 1983.  I'd used an old vibroplex bug up until that time.  Paid
$5.00 for it, used, chrome plated.
I still prefer the iambic keying though.  Took me a few hours of
practice to switch from Type "A" to Type "B", though, hi.

Best regards, (73)
