I suspect you don't know K7JA, who has, for the past 30+ years, been one of the WORLD'S TOP CW CONTEST OPS! Chip can run 'em at 40-45 WPM just as easily as he can run 'em at 25 WPM. And, I'll bet, that if Ken's been Chip's contesting 'partner', he's no slouch either. It' s just that they were sending at a speed reasonable enough to fully ensure 100 percent copy regardless of the amount of background QRM. ----------------------------\ That explains a lot, but it doesn't alter the fact that they were not sending at anything most operators would consider QRQ. I was impressed that Ken could copy through the racket. I could, but then I wasn't there with all the echoes and distractions, not to mention having my reputation on the line to win the contest <G> That would have qualify as at least as stressful as any FCC code exam I sat through, Amateur or commercial!
