When I started out as a Novice in 1964, I was advised to start with a straight key. When I could send well at about 15 wpm, then consider changing over to some kind of speed key. We didn't have iambics then. I switched to homebrew solid state keyer, that I built myself, and a Vibroplex paddle, which I still have. I now use an Idiom Press Super Keyer II, and an iambic paddle. I may not send the greatest code in the world, I'm still learning, but I'm glad that I followed my Elmer's advice.
