[CW] Morse proficiency

GE, All

I have to put my vote in with DR, I can either copy, or talk, but not 
both at the same time. Now here is one caveat-- I have worked "split 
phone watch" in the past, meaning that one Rube Goldberg'ed a pair of 
headphones, so you had one on each ear with a plug, and monitored two 
freqs at once. That, to me is doable, but to the point where if you get 
called simultaneously, one can send "AS1" or if military "ZUJ" to one of 
the stations, then handle one set of traffic, then the other.
or hopefully, call another op to put down his coffee and start copying 
--hi--.

I don't like doing it with voice either, it's too easy to get confused. 
 However, I had a closed head injury in '99 and my short-term memory is 
not as good as it used to be, getting better, however.
