Greetings Ed!

 EV>> GM Holger ... ._ __ ,

 EV>>> __. ._. .. _.

 EV>>   is easier written and read, hi.

 RW>> --. is easier to read than __. = don't have to use the shift
 RW>> key either.

 RW>> Note the small space between the -- vs the non existant space
 RW>> here __.

 RW>> .... .- ...- .  .-  -.. .- -.--  -.-.--

 EV> I prefer using the Shifted Underscore Key because to me, using the
 EV> Hyphen Key makes the Morse Characters looks like they are being sent
 EV> with a Frequency-Shift Keyer for CW instead of turning the Oscillator
 EV> On and Off with a Telegraph Key.

In a printed medium such as this, the spacing is what makes or breaks your
morse. i.e. your D reads like an R. __. vs --. where the latter shows
enough of a space between Dahs to recognize the character.

 EV> . = Low Tone

Dit - high tone

 EV> - = High Tone

Dah - low tone

 EV> I still would prefer using the J-38 Key with the Plastic Base
 EV> reversed on the Key by removing the Two Screws, reversing the Base
 EV> and re-fastening the Two Screws.

I never used any speed aides, I was able to send faster than I could read
with a regular key.

 EV> I have a Vibroplex Bug too but found out I send better CW with the
 EV> J-38 Key.

I had a Vibroplex key, but gave it to somebody who had a better use for it
than I did.

 EV> NNNN

 EV> ... I just figured out PI to the seventy-fifth decimal place.

PI are the last two letters of my original Advanced call. KB6PI
