[CW] Really Fast Hand Sending

[Richard Knoppow]

    Another word is CODEX. PARIS is used for plain language and 
CODEX for five letter code groups. There is a slight difference 
in the baud speed, not very much. PARIS assumes the distribution 
of letters in English.
    I can set up the G4FON Koch trainer program to send a text 
file of either combination and set it for speed from 15WPM up. 
However, the trainer will not send individual letters slower than 
15WPM.
    You can test for sending speed by sending the group PARIS 
over and over for a period of time. See how many you can do in a 
minute but the spacing, etc, must be reasonably good. I used to 
be quite fast on a hand key when young but these days get 
fatigued pretty fast even at slow speeds.

Sitting an automatic keyer so that it cranks out PARIS 25 times, gives you 25wpm, etc.  Counting WPM, as most know, can beany sort of word from one letter, to a dozen or more in a sentence, as long as the keyer is set for PARIS.  I had never heard that, until I had to come up with a test speed to set up a keyer, and after a couple of days playing around, measuring each letter, found the PARIS name fit.  Later I saw I had rediscovered gravity.
