 +===== Details ===== 
 + 
 +Bought from eBay seller [[https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/morsecodemad | morsecodemad ]]. Arrived 23/6/23 in good condition, with only the dot contacts requiring a cleaning/polishing to make it work perfectly "from the box" 
 + 
 +Minimum speed appears to be around 20 wpm, which is a little faster than my [[public:radio:radio_database:vibroplex_presentation | Presentation bug ]] which goes down (with both weights at the end) to around 18wpm. 
 + 
 +Feels very smooth and much quieter than the Presentation and is very pleasant to use, on the first night's testing on air 23/6/23. 
 + 
 +Worked a few stations on 30m with the Champion to check it out and found it working perfectly.

 +The only issues were with my own technique, which is still developing and needs much more work.
