I was completely inactive for 15 years or so.  Prior to going QRT, I 
operated mostly CW at 15 - 20 WPM.  My first few contacts after getting 
back on the air were a little rough, but I found that I was back up to 
speed within a day or so.  In fact, I find it easier to copy 20 - 25 WPM 
now than 10 - 15 WPM.  I didn't expect that.
