Tonight a real treat was in store. My CQ on 40 Meters (yes, 40 Meters was quiet tonight, yay!) was answered by K4BXN, Crit who hails from Hendersonville, NC . Crit and I have QSO'ed a few times before; and as always, listening to his fist is pure pleasure. Crit was using an old bug with his K3, and if he hadn't mentioned it, you would have thought for sure that he was using an electronic keyer and paddles.

Perfect spacing and perfect sending - period. Music to my ears. And sending Morse like that with a bug is no mean feat. From my own experience, I know it's so easy to develop a swing. Not that a swing is necessarily a bad thing - but it can be if you're not careful. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of skill to be as good as K4BXN. But boy, is it a treat to listen to!
