[Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed

[Doug Person]

Not sure I agree.  I can send 25 WPM with a decent straight key and 
30-35 with a good iambic paddle.  However, I can only comfortably copy 
15 WPM. I have a lot of trouble with stations that just need to send at 
20 WPM.  I just can't quite manage that speed.
