Hello fellow listers. Here I am once again soliciting opinions. So far, the advice received from this reflector has been 100% helpful. Thanks everyone!
I operated a "real" N2DAN Mercury key at W1AW. It was really something. I've heard that Bencher's version (at around $600) is "almost" as good. I've also heard that the Elecraft Hexkey has "the same feel as the Bencher Mercury" (from eHAM reviews) and represents good value for the money. There's quite a difference between $200 and $600 so I'm trying to understand what the extra $$$ might return with regard to performance. 100% of my operating is CW and 95% of that is at 18 - 22 wpm which is a nice, comfortable, copy-in-my-head ragchew speed - and I'm a slapper. My present paddle is a Scheunemann-Morsetasten SP-1 (single lever and springs). Thanks, Stan Levandowski WB2LQF HF QRP CW -- Doing more with less for over 50 years!
