[Elecraft] Bad fist

[Mike WA8BXN]

A simple way to test your own fist might be to record (on cassette, etc)
some of your own sending, save it for a few days and then play it back and
see if you can easily copy it. Of the bad fists I have heard, the worst
problem seems to be running letters together, followed by little difference
in the length of dots and dashes. Keyers help with the latter, but you can
still run letters together. The MFJ cw reader is a good idea, there are also
some free cw copying programs on the net that could help as well.
