Here's a couple of recordings of W0BMU and the Lake Erie swing that Buzz
mentions. Listen online or d/l them. The bands used to be full of
interesting and quirky fists and styles like this. Not unlike speech
patterns some were quite beautiful, some were in-your-face obnoxious.
That was before non-meat code readers and (gakk!) keyboards.
I always thought the Lake Erie swing was easy to copy in the speed range
of most ham QSOs. It has an informal chatty feel to it.
Anyway, for those who want to remember and for those who never knew:

Bug users,
A few months ago Jim, W0EB, posted a notice offering a device called a "dot
stabilizer" to bug users. I have purchased and installed one of these on my
ancient Vibroplex Champion. It is quite amazing. Gone are "scratchy dots"
and sending is smoother and more regular. Before Jim's post I did not know
that such a device existed. No bug user should be without one. The CW
Police may still not like my occasionally intentional long dashes and
sometimes Lake Erie swing - sorry about that decoder-users, but my dots,
smoothness and error-free sending have significantly improved.
