Today my new Begali Pearl arrived! What a work of art. I even had my callsign engraved on it for a couple of extra bucks.
Overall I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and learn the paddle. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my straight key, but one of the problems with QRP and listening around on the air is that most CW ops are 20wpm +. Doing this with a straight key can be problematic and typically if one is using a straight key, you're typically ignored.
So to overcome this, I decided to by the Begali for my home QRP base station. Now its time to learn how to use it and more importantly... pick up my speed.
Looking forward to using it
