[CW] High Speed Chinese Morse

[Chris R. NW6V]

"They" are wrong. But it's far from easy! the killer is the 4s and 5s - The
"dit rate" is very high - hard without rapid build-up of lactic acid - lots
of pain.

The pictures of the second fellow demonstrate what I called "the cast"
nicely - the pulses of the dits come down the arm from the shoulder as a
buzz, undamped by a forearm on the table. There is not a lot of action to
see. I am NOT capable of those speeds without training - which isn't going
to happen - but I might be able to do some detailed slow-motion videos
showing the basics. We'll see: I have to get going fast enough to get "up
on the step" like a motorboat riding its wake. These operators have good
posture because it's impossible to send that fast without using the whole
body. That is why Candler - in the Candler System which was endorsed by Ted
Mac - stressed the necessity of clean living and proper mental attitude to
become a top-notch telegrapher.

Thanks for sharing these.
