[Elecraft] Fastest: Paddle or Bug

[k6se@juno.com]

Hi, Frank,

Mucho congrats on your 40 wpm certificate from the Dayton Hamvention!

To copy solid for 5 minutes with a pencil has gotta be extremely tough!

About the fastest I can pencil is 23 wpm, and after a minute my hand is
about to fall off, hi.  I've seen guys that can pencil at 28 wpm, but
they write in longhand script.  I've never been able to do that because I
learned the Morse in the US Army and they taught us to print the
characters in uppercase block letters.  I could never get out of that
habit, so I either use a mill now (now actually the modern version of a
mill - called a "computer keyboard"), or copy in my head.

Anyway, I know how difficult it is to pencil, so I know how proud you
must be of that certificate.
