To whomever was asking about keyer paddles:

Well, it has been a while since I pounded brass regularly.  I still copy
it a lot (W1AW machine-sent bulletins) but don't send much. My top
speed was 25 WPM.

Back when I did use CW enough to want a good keyer paddle, I asked
K2KIR what he recommended - being a CW traffic hound.  He suggested
one made by Brown Brothers (of St Louis, as I recall).  I got one
and never regretted it. It is very solid, feels great, less filling,
no problems at all. It's iambic (though I learned on a keyer before
iambics were common, so I don't use it that way).

I haven't seen an ad for one in a long time, so I don't know whether
they are available any more or not.   If so, I recommend them.
