No, the folks on that reflector know this stuff. :) It's the casual
contesters who don't.

Funny story Last Field Day my son and a friend of his went camping with our
group. Neither of them are CW operators (yet), but they did know the alphabet.
They borrowed a MCU-controlled code-practice generator from another op and were
competing to see who could copy single letters at the

Yes, you're right, that's the exception.

He was wrong and you were right. Goes with the rule of smart contesters
to ALWAYS work dupes. He likely got your call wrong, or you got his
wrong. If the former, he gets penalized.

O... Real life strikes.

Not really much to the radio setup. Your transmitted deviation is very
important on 2 meters and so is the incoming volume level going to your
soundcard. Unless you have an amp or a gateway station really near, that 3
watts may not be enough to make it.
What soundcard are you using?

That is pretty impressive.
When I was first a ham, one of the locals was W7QYA, Flo, a school teacher
not far away. I had managed to crank my speed up to 40 (with some struggle)
but she said that was painfully slow for her. Her nominal speed was 65
wpm. I have yet to get much above 40.
