How many years have you been performing QRQ CW

After many years of being relatively inactive I am getting back into the hobby in a serious manner. I was primarily a CW operator and got up to about 35 WPM. I would now like to get my speed up as high as possible.

What speed do you like to run QRQ CW

We'll see how far I can get.

Your favorite key, paddle or bug

I use a N3ZN ZN-8A as my primary paddle. I also have a Kent TP-1.

Your favorite cw keyboard

I have not used a CW keyboard. I have an AEA MM3 that has keyboard capability but have never used it.

Your favorite cw sending software

None at this time.

Your Rig, Antenna and RF Power

I have a Ten-Tec Omni VI Plus, a Ten-Tec Paragon II and a Hercules II amp that puts out 500 Watts. I use a Hy-Gain DX 88 Vertical, Dipoles, and Inverted Delta Loops.

Your QSK preferences

I have always run full QSK.

Your favorite headphones or speakers for listening to cw

I use a David Clark noise attenuating aviation headset.

What has been your most effective way of training practice, to copy and send qrq cw

Do not know yet. I am just getting into QRQ.
