The speeds and procedure is typical of commercial shipboard operations.
Those interested in CW might enjoy noting the speeds involved. Many Hams
would consider that slow. At the end you'll hear the coastal station go back
to it's "CQ Wheel" inviting ships to call. That's automated and faster -
about 20 wpm. But traffic handling speeds are typically much slower as
demonstrated here. Commercial operators know that slower speeds overall
meant faster communications since fewer fills (repeats) are needed.
Note how the operator uses QSK to get his fills efficiently. Maybe the
coastal station even ran full duplex, which is possible when the
transmitter is located miles from the receiving site. Now that is the
ultimate in QSK -- even the K3 can't do it!
