I caught wind of this new bug from a FISTS group post. Check out the video:
I'm not much of a bug user (although I have two of them), but I know there are probably some on this site. Howard, AC4FS |

Thanks Howard for turning us onto this great video of this new concept in a bug. I'd love to sit down with it and give it a whirl. The basic design reminds me a lot of my old lightning bug which I retired when I purchased my FT-1000 and decided to use an electronic key. I operated on a bug for many years, although I tended to operate it much slower than the electronic key at about 20wpm so I could keep an "honest" fist. For me myself, when i went faster than about 20 my 3:1 ratio suffered and my code would start sounding sloppy to my ears. So, from that standpoint, getting on an electronic key has been a lot of fun, but at times I really reminisce for and miss my old gray bug. Instead of straight key night we ought to have a "bug only" night!
