I was in the latter category and quite oftenand I would receive a QLF??. I built an accukeyer featured in QST a lot of years ago and in a number of the ARRL Handbooks. I bought a FYO paddle set which is what the Bencher looks like. I never did use iambic sending, nor do I today. However, the result was no more QLF?, and my fatigue level is much lower after a long weekend. My point is you need to really practice to get good with a key so you can be read. An electronic keyer, like in the Elecraft radios or a Winkeyer used with a dual or single paddle set will really clean up your sending and lessen your fatigue, even if you never use the iambic features available. 73, Barry K3NDM ------ Original Message ------ From: "Dave Fugleberg" <dave.w...@gmail.com> To: "Dale Putnam" <daleput...@hotmail.com>; "Bill" <w2...@nycap.rr.com>; "elecraft@mailman.qth.net" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: 6/27/2016 2:00:53 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CW Key Recommendation >One other thing to add for the original poster... >Something that's really helped me is to use a program called Iambic >Master >to help me learn how to send well with paddles.
