[CW] High speed sending...

My experience was that the more I practiced with a dual-lever key, the worse
I got.  You can't argue with my experience, it is what it is.  I do know
some contest operators who use a dual-lever key (or did before they let
their computers take over the operating), but I know no ragchewers who
operate over about 30 wpm with dual-lever keys.

Once again, I suggested the man try a single-lever key.  Why are you trying
to argue with that suggestion?  Do you want him to not give it a try?
