[CW] Puerto Rico Straight Key Party

Fri, 9 Apr 2004 22:42:38 -0400

Hello Pedro.

I just had a QSO with Carlos, PY7HQ.  He was using a WW2 hand key and was
sending at 25 to 28 wpm throughout the whole QSO.

Boy I wish I could have had a tape recorder for that QSO.  He is 73 years
old, and he was a operator at PPO in Brazil until they closed.

I have been looking for someone who can send 25 wpm plus - I forget but
someone doubted that it can be done, but I know it can be done - I just
can't do it any more - but this fellow can and did - and he is 73 years old.

Did you ever work him?

73
