[CW] High Speed Morse Claims

Recognize call in which Baudot speed ?

Baudot TTY 60 is about 60 wpm and uses a start pulse which is 22 
milliseconds long.
But it is only the start pulse. With 200 wpm (i.w. 1000 letters per minute) 
your
callsign would be sent in approx. 30 ms :-)

One of the fascinating aspects of Ted McElroy was his ability to switch 
from
continental to international morse code.

I can recognize my callsign in Baudot.

  My memory is that Ted McElroy read something like 75 WPM. Since pictures
  of him at the contest show him wearing headphones I assume it was
  continental morse.

  Thanks for forwaring my email.
  The last sentence should read :

  This record of 1000 LPM was certified. It's hard to believe
  but nevertheless true.

  Sorry for the confusion...

      I am member of some speed clubs, all of them measure
      the speed in letters per minute in PARIS mode.
      100 LPM is equivalent to 20 words per minute.

      HSC High Speed Club >125 letters per minute
      VHSC Very high speed club >200 LPM
      Super high speed Club >250 LPM
      Extremly high speed Club >300 LPM (60 wpm)

      You need up to 5 sponsors who confirm that you are able
      to hold the minimum speed - which each of these clubs
      require - in qsos of at least 30 minutes. The sponsors themselves
      have to be member of the "desired" speed club, of course.

      When I became member of all of these clubs, I was about
      26 yrs young and did more or less nothing else then
      excercising extreme speed cw. Oh, I forgot to mention
      that the use of computers was forbidden - for listening
      as well as for keying. Electronic keyers were ok :-)
      I used a wonderful very heavy self made sensoric keyer with an
      ETM-1C electronic which was changed to enable it for 70
      and more wpm (> 350 LPM).

      These days, I was permanently able to copy 350 LPM
      which would be 70 wpm PARIS norm. A few of my buddies
      these days were better = faster. The best cw Operator I ever
      heard (a good friend of mine) is DF4KV. He performs like a
      machine... with an old Vibrokeyer, fluently in german and
      english. He invented the PACTOR System, together with
      DL6MAA, another absolutely outstanding cw enthusiast.
      They never met in person during the development of PACTOR,
      they communicated via cw.

      There are regular international speed contests in different modes.
      One of them is a simulation of contest traffic. In this mode,
      the world record is held from the german ham DL1YFK with
      one thousand letters per minute - this is 200 wpm.
      When you hear your own call sign in this speed, you think
      that there was some very short "click" in the line.

      This record of 1000 wpm was certified. It's hard to believe
      but nevertheless true.
