[CW] 175 Years Ago Today

[Joe Pontek Sr]

There is not that much difference between 20 & 25WPM and back in the 
days, we all used the FCC's often maladjusted
J-38 lose on their table for our 20 WPM sending tests.  Is memory loss 
flooding our ranks?  Quite frankly, 20-25 WPM on
a hand pump is nothing except painful after a bit.  Such is the "DS" 
that walks up to me, insults me, my family or my friends
without promptly stepping back and probably brags about high speed CW 
and has no clue as to what HS CW is!  Duh!
