Actually, if you had a C64 your timing problems would be solved. I wrote a CW send/receive program for Atari back in the 80's and it worked great. (6502 processor, same as your Commodore 64.) The problem (if it exists -- there are probably ways around this) is the preemptive multi-tasking OS. It has so many other things to do that the gap between a dit and a dah looks like a good time for it to go off and do something else for a while. It may or may not get back to your dah in a timely fashion. On the Atari and the C64, once your code was running, it was the only thing running so you could be sure you weren't going to lose the machine's attention.
