Hello Ray,

There is some very fast sending - was that with a straight key?  I
know that China has some really really fast sending CW operators -
even with the D117 / K4 Chinese Army (PLA) key they rattle off some
fast code.  What a spring on that key!  It is like they use on
automobiles!

One of my favorite memories was hearing Hong Kong Radio / VPS (back
then it was British) calling CQ just before noon - "Time for Hong Kong
Time Ticks..." and sending the warning dots and dash for clock
setting.
