CW Tips Every Novice Needs to Know

I'm actively working on my Morse code (CW)! For the last 2-3 weeks, I've been listening and keying on a regular basis. I also have acquired several different morse code keys, and they are not all created equal! I have 2 iambic paddle style keys, as well as a couple of different straight keys. In this video, I talk about each, their differences and similarities, as well as a practice keyer (code oscillator), and how you can use these tools to start working on your CW!
