John is right, there is a certain "excitement" in falling behind in the copy
and trying catch-up/figure-out what the qso is all about (at least that's
the reasoning I use...hi).
Great thread.

A mistake I see too many hams making is that they will practice
at one speed until they are 100% at that speed before trying
anything faster.
Very True.
You know, on CW, I kinda like being at about 65 to 70% comprehension.
Can't take it for long but it's more "exciting" (too strong a word).
Actually, I feel the same way about reading technical material. That
way, at a later date you can look back and see what you've mastered.
Being puzzled for a time is half the fun. Besides, it's what motivates
you to learn.
