John is right!
I've been spending time "hunting" in the "novice bands" for slow CW.
But I sometimes find it difficult to send slow code!
So I'd like to ask the slower operators to be patient with us - sometimes I
can't even slow my hand key to the right speed, so I am forced to use an
electronic keyer - which allows me to send slow.
So mutual patience. I don't mind a QRS call, so please send QRS QRS!
I try to send the same way the sender does.
Sometimes the sender is sending fast code with lots of spaces - making 18
wpm characters and overall spaces to bring it to 5 wpm. I TRY to do this,
but I need practice!
So bear with me - I'm trying!
