I was up to 22 wpm in 1984 when I qualified for my Amateur Extra license and that was as fast as I could push my pencil.

Presently this is a dream as I am regaining lost CW skills... but dreams are realizable.

Welcome, Ed. Talk to Ben, N6SL, about sideswipers. He runs a sideswiper net!

Ed, I am on often around 7.029 to 7.032 in the evenings and on weekend days. I use a bug and keyboard and also a keyer but no sideswiper. QRQ is a matter of using CW and using a pencil to take very brief notes but not to copy with! Hope to see you on the air! 73, bill
