I can copy 50 WPM on a good day, but when I encounter ops running higher speeds, or if the ol' synapses are dulled by a glass of vino, I eavesdrop using the built-in text decoder (K3 and KX3). I find such signals on 40 m during the day, usually. I think these ops are using keyboards, more often than not, based on the number of mistakes correlated to QWERTY.
