That will work. Twist the two together and connect them to strap and the center (tip) of the plug. Connect the shield to the base and the shell and you should be good to go.

The one wire goes to the tip of a standard phone plug and the ground goes to the outside of the plug. If this is a paddle, you need a stereo plug. The dit lever goes to the tip and dah lever goes to the ring. Ground goes to the shell. I used to use a bug and then went to a paddle with iambic keying. You (I) can't go home again.
