I use a ETM-SQ paddle key and the internal electronic keyer of the Icom. I'll persevere with CW because I love it, all I ask is for stations to use their ears as well as their keys and standby when I've picked out a station from the noise and let me work him. This is all common courtesy and common sense right?.....RIGHT!!!

Please understand if I disappear from the band very suddenly and have patience with me when working a pile up - Not all rare DX stations are Old Timer's ;-), I'm 33 years old and still learning.
