[CW] Fast Hand Key

[Richard Knoppow]

    Well, that Marconi key was up and down.
    I was also faster than I am now. When I used a straight key 
regularly I could do 25 WPM. Measured this by sending measured 
text. Of course, I was also strong as a horse then.
    I have had carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand which has 
made big difference in typing. I am having the right hand done at 
the end of the month. Its not as bad but I think it will make a 
difference. On my left hand it improved the dexterity quite a bit 
as well as eliminating numbness and pain. If anyone reading this 
suspects they have carpal tunnel syndrome (AKA glass arm) get it 
checked by someone who specializes in hand surgery. The release 
surgery does work.
     I would offer to record something but don't think my fist is 
good enough anymore. Maybe after the surgery. However, a lot of 
the skill comes with constant practice, as I am sure you know.
