I'm usually around for a few QSO's on 40 or 80 meters using my J-38 WWII straight key on the K2/100.
If someone calls me using a bug or keyer, I'll switch to my standard QRQ keying device: a 1960 vintage Vibroplex Standard Bug that was passed onto me by the widow of a good friend and commercial radio operator. If I get tired of that I'll switch to my Speed-X Logan-Style Bug, ca. 1950, that I've had since I got my General class license. Otherwise I'm on my J-38 straight key. The K2 keyer is very, very nice, and I've had a lot of nice rag-chews on it using my Scotia paddles, but I must say that there's something enticing about the challenge, feel and sound of a bug, even after all these years. The straight key is always hooked up for whenever I need to QRS below about 15 wpm.
