Ron - Sometimes I think there must have been real compitions between
operators. Maybe in the military. No firsthand experience here. I put in
for radio school in 1964 but they sent me to cook and baker school. I
worked with a guy who had been on a ship. He said that when someone
challanged him, he removed the weight completly. He may have been braging.
I just read a chapter from the novel "The Nymph and the Lamp" by Thomas
Raddel.(sp?) A shore station was challanged by a ship operator. When the
dust settled, the best operators on both side had been called into the
contest. This was full contact Morse code. I just plunk along under 20wpm
but I enjoy the mechanical keys. I like being in control of what I send.
