[CW] Why it's harder to send slowly.

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

Neil Harrison on Radio-Officers Facebook group said it's harder to send
slowly.

Yes, that new book "The CW Way of Life" mentions that: Once you know how,
sending good code at 10 WPM is more challenging than at 20 WPM; by 10 WPM,
the oscillations are so slow you have to measure them rather than just
letting the arm vibrate like a spring." The author speaks of "tones" or
vibrations, like the German "Gestalt", patterns that fuse together and
become one unified recognizable pattern. When you slow down you have to
count the rhythm yourself instead of using the brain's automatic Morse
flywheel the author calls "the dit train" which is part of both sending and
receiving.
