Build a Morse Paddle Key - For Free!

[@matyos7754]

I have created the same key yesterday. I can go as fast as 30wpm with that. Excellent key.

[@ianxfs]

Brilliant Mat! 👍🏻

[@stevemunro8559]

I've learnt more here in 6mins than the last 2 years of looking in the wrong places, I would love to learn morse to even a slow beginners level.

[@ianxfs]

Hi Steve and thanks. There’s an intro to Morse video on this channel if you have a look back. Good luck 👍🏻

[@ianxfs]

Found it. Here you go: Getting Back Into Morse Code kzbin.info/www/bejne/onasgoyPq791q9U

I gave myself 12 hours with morse mania. I just keyed this with the morse keyboard on gboard!

[@Trunkeddetcord995]

I'm formally 16 sig British army I love all this stuff, I built my own trunked radios encryption systems for said radios but never seen this before

[@ianxfs]

@@Trunkeddetcord995 Great! Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@janhenkins]

Awesome, I'll definitely be making a few of these!

[@ianxfs]

@@janhenkins Have fun! 👍🏻

[@josephcooksley3219]

Great explanation and kiss construction lol

[@ianxfs]

Thanks!

[@garyh8315]

A good idea there Ian, something quite different.

[@ianxfs]

Thanks Gary. Will probably use maybe once a month if that, so no need for anything fancy, just to have to hand and in-hand when needed 😀

[@G5XDX]

nicely done. Thumbs up!

[@ianxfs]

[@johnmarron1944]

Ps I am going to try lengths of hacksaw blades for paddles see how they work lol

[@ianxfs]

Yes, I’ve seen the hacksaw blade one too. You could end up with a display shelf of rather odd looking Morse keys 🤔 Have fun John!

[@johnmarron1944]

@@ianxfs cheers Ian ps all the best for the new year to you and yours 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@ianxfs]

Thanks John and the same to you 👍🏻

[@DevilNone-pp3ot]

😂 now I have to go to U.K to get this plug haha 73;)

[@ianxfs]

Ha, yes, the down-side….🤔

[@DevilNone-pp3ot]

Any way was good idea with this wall plug;)

[@KeepEvery1Guessing]

Learb "squeeze" (iambic) keying: X and P are the only letters that require pressing a paddle more than once.

[@ianxfs]

Will take a look Bill 👍🏻

[@ZL1BQDRoly]

If you use an American plug i guess to can max out at 60 wpm??

[@ianxfs]

Yes, limited to a mere 50 here Roly 🙄….😁

[@Y.o.T.]

That's fucking brilliant! I love it!

[@ianxfs]

Thanks.

[@JxH]

From ~50 years ago until quite recently, "keys" were keys and "paddles" were paddles. Recently the vocabulary has become jumbled. Definitions: Key, Morse key, straight key = the original up and down single contact. Paddles, dual iambic or single = the sideways two contacts. Many related terms, but the recent 'word salad' is jumbling key and paddles.

[@ianxfs]

Thanks for that clarification 👍🏻
