[Boatanchors] Code Speed

[Bob Sullivan]

Greetings all,

Remember the Ted McElroy keys? He started making them in 1934.

In 1922, he won the world championship in Asheville, NC by copying code at 
56.5 WPM. On July 2, 1939, McElroy broke his own world record code speed 
record and copied at 75.2 WPM, which remains unsurpassed today.

Pretty amazing.

73, Bob
