Hello Marshall, I too just finished reading your article on Iambic Keying-Debunking the Myth. I found it fascinating. Learned the code at age 5 and now at age 60 have worked my way to being able to transmit 60 wpm with a single lever. I have never even been able to get close to that speed with a double lever. Like your article said, "most high speed European operators prefer single lever paddles, non-iambic keyers, or dual paddles with a piece of cardboard jammed between the levers", and in my opinion, they are the best. Wonder if you ever posted that article on eHam or QRZ? Anyway, thanks for making things alot clearer for me.

HiDear Friend,
It is great collection of morse keys and bugs!
Please ad this for note i found:
This key is one of the hand made keys by HA8KJ, Janos.

and the original text was:
And... found it! This little honey turned up in the fleamarket at Ham Radio (Friedrichshafen) in 2004. Personally I would probably prefer flat fingerpieces for long-term use but I can do surprisingly well with the wooden ones. This one has what appears to be a serial number on the lower left lever-yoke, 0049, but no other apparent markings.

Nice collection. Just wanted to tell You that your squeeze keyer which you found in Friedrichshaven an has wooden paddles is of hungarian origin. I bought one five years ago directly from the manufacturer at the HamExpo in France. Unfortunately I lost his address. 73 - Walter

OM, I read your paper on Iambic Keying- Debunking the Myth. So nice and refreshing to hear the truth. My problem from the first was Iambic imposed a speed limit problem and I never went back with it! I didn't find it clever nor fun. Smile - From Prune Hill W8SU ZUT CW forever!
