[CW] QRQ turns into QRS????

[Dan Harriman]

Hehehe;

Enter       "The Twilight Zone!"

Music now starts to play in the background as Rod Serling starts
walking forward, out of the darkness, telling us of a ham who thinks that
time is starting to stand still.
       "Ken is a good guy, who likes amateur radio.
Lately he has been listening to CW while playing on the computer.  He listens
to CW in the 45 - 50 wpm range. Unconsciously he hears words starting to form.
'The      big       day       is'. Then the letters start to slow down to 5 
or 6 wpm
and they become all jumbled up..."

Yes, Ken. It sounds like you are starting to go crazy!  The mind is the 
first thing to go! LOL
Keep up the good work, Ken. Sounds like you are starting to get the hang of 
high speed
head copying CW.

73 es keep doing what you are doing. It seems to be working!
