To each his own, whatever you enjoy. But for a different perspective, I certainly enjoy being able to have a longer QSO and “chat” and do more than just the quickie 599/QTH/73 type of contact. Running 20 wpm lets me do that a lot more readily than running at 10 wpm. 35 wpm is even better because, in my experience, it becomes more like a normal person to person conversation than a very limited slow speed minimal contact.
So while I don’t want to discourage anyone from running 10 wpm or whatever they want, I do want to let people know that moving up in speed does open totally new possibilities for CW contacts. 73, Ken WA8JXM > On Dec 1, 2014, at 9:03 AM, r miles <[email protected]> wrote: > > I can still 'head copy' 45 WPM but so what.
