I think this was just (!!!) copying calls, but he can copy plain 
language pretty well too.  He can also send unbelievably quickly with a 
paddle.  If you are interested in how to do it, he tells you at 
<http://www.k7qo.net/sending.pdf>.

I had the honor of meeting Chuck a number of years ago in Dallas.  He 
probably has done as much or more to popularize QRP building and 
operation as well as CW as any other person I can think of.  He's really 
a 'hero of amateur radio', in my opinion.
