[ADXA] Guinness World Record CW Speed

[Stan Stockton]



Joel - It truly is amazing.  I watched the YouTube video of it  This is one of those things that would seem not humanly possible.  Heck, K5UR can almost sound like a blur to me when he calls in at about 1/4 that speed.

I just searched 3830 and he has never entered a contest either as single operator or in a multi operator operation for which the score was reported on 3830.  ZF5T chooses YO8YNS as first round draft pick in hopes that he could accurately pick out one callsign after the other in a pile-up at 50 WPM. I’m on it!

73…Stan, K5GO
