[CW] Morse proficiency

[artmouton]

My best memory of cw was, as a novice, looking over the shoulder of the cw
operators at our club's field day (about 1961 or so) and having one member
on the key, one listening to the high note cw station and the other copying
the low note cw station with the operator trying to work both of them at the
same time.  Club (Lafayette Amateur Radio Club) came out 1st or 2nd that
year.  My love of CW was deeply embedded after that.
