[CW] Positioning of any side to side key device and speed/fatigue during sending

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Oh, that's terrible Spud. How embarrassing for real salts like yourself.

You and I agree, you always need extra power when dealing with Arctic
conditions, both horsepower and wattage.

Hey, if they listened to you, they would have put RADAR on Titanic and when
they hit the big ice cube, used the satcom to chew out the International
Ice Patrol for not broadcasting a special WeFAX chat over CFH Mill Cove,
Nova Scotia Radio so they could steer clear of the ice berg.

Isn't it amazing that all the stuff I mentioned above is only less than 75
years old?
