That was QSO Style!  I miss seeing those competitions although I could never begin to go that fast. Just got a word here and there. You guys are very unique in many ways. Mostly ultimate Elmer's!73 jaySent from my Galaxy

Nick and I share the record for LR hamfest competitions, but it is only 50 WPM.  Anytime I checked my copying ability, I topped out at about 52 WPM.  Must be a physiological limit of some kind, because I tried hard by listening a lot at 55 and 60 but it didn’t help.   73,DennisOn Aug 21, 2022, at 3:20 AM, jayw5jay <jayw5jay at cox.net> wrote:Wow you're lucky to have such great Elmer's. I was trying to think when I first met Nick and Dennis. I just don't remember now. Both are class acts!!!I have seen Dennis at a few of those shootouts. I think if anyone won those besides Dennis it was because he decided not to participate. Always great fun seeing a half a dozen guys trying to see how fast they could copy cw.73 jay..Sent from my Galaxy-------- Original message --------From: "J.

Nick & Dennis went "head-to-head" in the CW Shoot Out. They Lived 10 miles apart. Best of friends.Other guys dropped out @ 40 - 45 WPM. Dennis and Nick both passed 60 WPM.The guy with the cassette tapes, conducting the contest, said "I Don't know what to do guys. That is the last of my code tapes."Dennis & Nick shook hands and called it a tie.As far as I know, That Record still Stands.---That's how I remember it.= QJ - QJ
