K7QO Iambic Sending Article1 Using an Iambic Paddleby Chuck Adams, K7 QORevised May 5, 2010 This article is for the use of Iambic paddles, paddles. Single lever paddlestake more mechanical motion and effort to sendthe Morse characters. I will prove this sending Morse at speeds greater than 20 WPM you will need something other than astraight key or you will become very tired andfrustrated. Sending good code should be may or may not already have experiencesending Morse. If you do not, then let me per-sonally recommend that you start with an iambicpaddle and a keyer. Most modern commercialrigs and a number of QRP kits that I know ofhave a built-in electronic keyer. You should learnto make good use of it if you haven t let me take the bug (mechanical Paddle )people aside. You know that it takes a certainforce to hit the mechanical Paddle and get thelever that sends the dits to move and stay mov-ing long enough to get some number of dits. Youwill have to kill off the tendency that you haveto hit the Paddle with a lot of force.
