[CW] Probably Fastest Morse Straight Key Operator I've Ever Heard

[Chris R. NW6V]

Agreed. But I've seen several videos of Chinese ops blazing along at
similar speeds - 30 WPM range.

One point - they are sending cut numbers, in groups of four, so the op only
needs to blaze through those ten characters, which were chosen to be "easy"
transitions, and knows there will be a microscopic "rest" every 4
characters, etc. These make HSSK operation quite a bit easier than with
plan text or random groups.

Great technique BTW; he's doing "the cast" as I call it. Note that the hand
is canted about 60 degrees, not level. That's a very important detail for
avoiding glass arm because it moves the motive source of the forearm up to
the biceps and triceps, rather than the forearm muscles themselves. The
"level knuckles" technique usually taught, especially with "American
Technique," does the opposite, and makes HSSK almost impossible.

It's a shame most videos concentrate on the hand when the interesting part
would be seeing his arm.
