Thanks to all who have submitted their thoughts and stories about high
speed cw, I know a local ham who at one time could send and copy 50 wpm, he
has lost a bit of this speed due to lack of people to talk to who can send
at that speed and plus arthritus.. I would like to know how is it possible
to send speeds higher than 23 wpm on a straight key? What is the trick to it? I can manage about 20 perhaps 23 wpm on a straight key, after that I have to s
witch to a paddle and keyer... I do not doubt that it is possible to go faster than 23 wpm minu
te on a sk, but could someone tell me how it is done?
