[CW] 45 WPM Handkeying........

Mon, 27 Jan 2003 13:10:19 -0500

Dear Jim,

Can you actually send 45 wpm with a hand key?  Or is that by using a bug or
a paddle and electronic keyer?

If it is just with an up and down key, I would love to have a recording of
this because I am making a bunch of recordings for the Smithsonian.

You can see more of my recordings here:

Gentle Persons,
This is getting ridiculous, and I humbly ask you to select another subject
line.
I am not interested in Records, or putting Awards on a wall in my house. I
spend my on air time talking to PEOPLE, trying to get to know them and
maybe establishing a friendship, We both can ENJOY. As all the Nay Sayers
have repeatedly pointed out 45 WPM with a straight key can't be done. I
notice however that since this thread started, not a single one of these
same folks has taken the OBVIOUS opportunity to verify or not by contacting
me
ON - THE - AIR, or via email to arrange a schedule to contact me.

I posted my WebPages when I mistakenly answered the original message.
On that site in a number of places is mentioned the frequencies I routinely
monitor and also the modes I have available. No one called no one emailed.

PLEASE change the subject line and GET A LIFE!
Jim
