I've been using a bug exclusively for the last 3 years (homebrew left-hander). On a few occasions, I've had to use a paddle, say, when visiting a friend's shack or at a hamfest. It took me awhile to realize I was using the paddle exactly like I would a bug: automatic dits and manual dahs. I didn't realize it til the other person pointed it out.

I have never used a bug before trying my new Christmas preent, a Vizkey 90 degre bug.  It is very different than anything else I have tried, but it is fun and is a welcome addition to my collection.  I like to use a different key each day.  I have my favorites too, a begali Blade, a begali HST, begali Traveler, Vibroplex speed racer, SKCC straight key by LNR, and some others.  Now, I will add a bug to the rotation.
I hope that we can work each other on the air sometime.

I’ve had one of these for a long time. It’s a great bug, especially since it performs so well at low speeds :)
