I will agree with you there. Second best means of copying is my Vibroplex

HI,
I recently made a few QSO's during the All Asia CW test, the
exchange in the AA Test is RS(T) and Age for OM's.
Having checked my contacts I found the average age was 49.1!!
I wonder if anyone else checked their contacts this way.

We're all getting older, but CW ops are getting better!
