Remember, Richard,

If you're not on the air for a while, you're speed goes down.  Even after
nearly 50 years of doing this, often for 8 to 12 hours a day every day on
ship, I now operate about an hour a day.  I did some QRQ, maybe it was just
my uncoordinated day, but I could not send 45 wpm on the paddles.  I did
better on the bug, but even the bug didn't sound really good like it did
the last time I used it.  Forget the hand key, rotten code.  Sideswiper
worked fine though - I guess it is an easy key to send with.  I found it so
on ship, the vibrations didn't bother it, and you could rattle off 30 to 35
wpm easily.  I admit it is easier to send 35 with a bug for a few hours
though.

First the Sending goes, then the copying, then the memory goes, then ...
...  ... I forget.
