-----Original Message----- In my view, the so called "bug swing" is anything but "nice"! Why anyone would try to send anything but correctly formed code characters is beyond me!
Dave W7AQK ---------------------------- Imagine a world where nobody spoke into the mic. Instead, rigs had computer voice generation inside. What came out were your words, but spoken by a robotic artificial voice with perfect pronunciation at just the right speed with just the right tone to cut through and improve communications. Keyers have served to make CW nice & uniform but have also taken much of the life out of the mode for me. I much prefer to work someone who is using a straight key or bug and is sending good code that still has a bit of human flavor to it. Having said that, I agree with you regarding intentional bug swing. If the OP is trying to swing, intentionally messing up the code because it sounds "cool" then that is a bad thing. NNMA instead of CQ is a sign of a poor operator who hasn't mastered the bug. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
