[CW] A Speed Question

[Joe Pontek Sr]

I really doubt that.

First, in all the contests I have participated in, very few at the 50 
WPM mark, but for no more that a few
CQs.  35 WPM is more typical  high.

Yes, my computer often sends the exchange information as is the exchange 
I copy, but I copy that
exchange myself, no machine.  Yes, I have a lot of experience copying 
CW, thus I have become
proficient.  Do not let this "machine copy" nonsense deter your 
practice.  With a couple that I played with
out of curiosity, I copied better, ie. more accurately, all the time.  
Most contesters roll along between
18 and 35 WPM.
