OK, Guys, I'm a newbe to ham(18 years) compared. And I have been avoiding CW until the past few months (after passing my 20 word test for my extra(16 years ago!)). This spring I started Triple Play to force myself to get serious on CW and it has been uphill all the way but I am gaining on it (still missing 15 states CW on LOTW).
QRQ? High speed CW ?? OK, so how do you get to 60 or 100 WPM anyway? PC or at least keyboard input? I can't imagine accuracy for copyable code being input via paddle above maybe 40 wpm or so. Also, PC for decode even up to 100 wpm or is that by ear !!! ? Also, during the contests I sometimes hear cw going so fast all that is heard is "thumping", there is no tone whatsoever being transmitted. Do I have something set wrong or are some radios prone to transmit like this? These are not close in stations (579 or so) so it shouldn't be overload and backing off the rf gain doesn't make it any different. Thanks, de Jim KG0KP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
