Kevin -
Set up one of the Morse practice programs that sends code. Go to CW mode
and hold the MODE key to get into test mode so you don't bother anyone on
the air. The program should be able to send a text file you designate.
Have your test file be "PARIS PARIS PARIS...." over and over again.
This is not a celebration of Niki Hilton's sister. It is a standard way of
measuring code speed. The number of times "Paris" is sent in a minute
equals WPM.
Or, you could just time your own sending by sending "PARIS" over and over
for one minute.
My K2 comes out very close.
