[Elecraft] K2 CW Keyer Speed

["D.R. Weiss KIØRP"]

Mark, when I want to slow down for someone I use a combination of turning 
down the keyer speed and increasing the spacings between letters and 
words.  I think it's very readable if you send the letters themselves at 15 
WPM but leave a lot of time after each one to bring the overall speed down 
to 5 WPM.  This seems to fit in with all the emphasis on Farnsworth spacing 
for learning the code.  Plus, I find it very difficult to read 5 WPM code 
sent with strict 5 WPM timing, although maybe it's just what I got used to.
