I'm not a high speed CW operator. Most of my operation was on 40m in
my Novice year and a little on CW eme.
I found my self hearing complete words or character groups at about
10wpm. Examples: CQ, QRZ, SK, Name, RST, 73, QTH, and certain well
known callsigns. Others that I can't recall at the moment. I
usually operated eme at 15 wpm. Back in my early years I could send
20 wpm with a straight key. Never mastered a paddle.
When I get back on eme I probably will send with a keyboard since my
hand dexterity has fallen off since loosing a finger on my right
hand. Typing is also a challenge since missing a finger requires the
backup finger to handle twice as many keys. On eme I have several
common scrips saved to send at a press of a key. But receiving is
still done by ear/mind.
