[Elecraft] QSK Redux

In 50+ years of pounding brass on the Ham bands from 160 meters through UHF,
the only time I've worked at 30 wpm or more with any regularity is when
working a small handful QRQ buddies. That totals much less than 0.1% of my
QSO's. 99% of the thousands and thousands of QSO's over the years are at 15
to 25 WPM. The remainder are real QRS working new Hams or OT's getting back
on CW at 10 wpm or less.

Similar experience here Ron. I would also like to suggest that when storm 
static QRN is wiping out parts of a transmission, slower speed can often 
result in better overall copy - assuming that humans are at each end.
