I used a bug for many years before trying an electronic keyer. I never have
tried to master iambic but typically use the paddles sequentially, which I am
sure limits my speed, but 30-35 wpm is fast enough for me in any case. I
suppose a single-lever paddle would be better for this, but I haven't yet
discovered one I really like (my favorite paddle is a Begali Simplex, with an
old Brown Brothers as a close second).
When I first tried a paddle I went ballistic...and finally found a Brown
Brothers, which I use sorta, kinda, somewhat like a bug....Dots are no problem,
but i still find it real hard not to tickle the dash lever for individual
elements.
Maybe I should see if the machinists at the Streetcar Museum can help me roll a
single-lever paddle. I once tried to get price quotes to reproduce the Brown
Bothers...the K3 fully loaded was cheap in comparison to a production run.
