Gosh, what a refereshing thread! Imagine - some CW Ops actually use BUGS!!!

I have the Vibroplex extension for my 1964 Champion (I bought it with paper route $$ and took it to sea when I joined the Navy) and it still works FB. If you have a "round arm" key, you can visit your local hobby shop and get some brass sleeving to extend the arm. Personally, I prefer an arm extension to just adding weight. Seems to make the key behave better.

Now, if anyone reading here *really* wants to target slow speed CW, check out the VIZ VERTICAL at www.vizkey.com. Slowing down to help the newbies is very satisfying. Having that "just right feel" makes it even more appealing to you and can motivate you to spend more time with the slower folks and help them build their confidence and speed.

Long live "real" CW (manual keys and brains).
