The thumping could either be you've got the NB on too heavy a setting, or you
have someone just outside of your filter skirts. IE, you have 100Hz set and
some one really strong is out around 150 or even 200hz to your side. That tends
to cause the type of "thumping" sound you're talking about.
As for the send and receiving of CW at those speeeds. Yes, you CAN do it with a
good keyer.. and Yes, you do decode it with your brain... Keep in mind, if you
can only copy 15 wpm, 25wpm sounds like 100wpm.. if you can do 45wpm, 55 or
60wpm starts sounding fast to you.. So, it's all realitive to your speed that
you can already go. Keep up your code and you'll get there soon enough... well,
okay 45 is good enough...Hi hi.. 73
