For anyone who uses a paddle but not iambic keying, and wonders
whether iambic might be better, I'd suggest learning just a couple
letters as a trial starter: the letters "C" and "Q. " You'll get
good practice sending "CQ." If you don't find it helpful, you
haven't lost anything: just return to non-iambic keying of "C" and
"Q." But if you find it helpful, continue by gradually learning some
more letters in iambic.
I made the change to iambic with all letters (that are iambic) at
once a few years ago. I didn't find it easy, but I did find it to be
worthwhile at my usual conversational speed of 25-30 wpm. I don't
see any reason why someone would have to make the change for all
characters at once.
