I've spent many an hour observing my subjective thought processes as I copy
CW. And I have to admit that after 60 years of operating CW (with a head

radiograms of about 22 wpm using pencil), I do not actually hear entire

You remember correctly. I owned one. I also used the modulated HV to run an

Great thread, but we're past the single OT posting limit. Lets wind this and

I think all the comments are very good but would like to add this PRACTICE

I know lots of hams that would like to learn the code but not enough to put the
time in. If a person just puts in 15 or 20 minutes each day to practice, it
will keep them from slipping

I don't think they use KSM any longer. Both KPH and KFS are active and

some deal for perpetual usage of the calls and working frequencies by
the museum site. At least that's what RD told me. KSM is still active

While I agree with the OP about copying conversational QRQ, the
redundancy/anticipation doesn't hold true when copying callsigns, such as in
the case of running RUFZ.
I don't know if the number has gone up in the last ~10 years, as that was
the last time I participated in the IARU HST, but at
Neve conduction is actually a mixture of chemical and electrical
mechanisms, in vertebrates. The signal travels electrically in short
hops, and is then regenerated by a chemical process. Invertebrates have
propagation velocities of more like 1 metre / second.
Nerve impulses travel at around 200 MPH, tops, but I believe the
explanation will still hold.

It does not negate the argument, but nerve impulses are based on chemical
reactions in neurons, and only travel at about 120 metres per second.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles a second ; about 670,616,629
mph.
My point ? At QRQ CW speeds something occurs that you normally do not encounter
at slower speeds. Look at a dictionary. Many
