That's great Rick... Does anybody know of anyone who could copy RTTY in their head?
I seem to remember meeting a guy once at a hamfest who claimed he could.

There was another guy who I remember winning a code copying contest at Cedars of 
Lebanon Hamfest (TN) back in the 1980s who copied around 75 wpm in his head, May have 
been 72 wpm or so. I forget now... I dropped out after about 35-40 wpm I think.
