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

For several years I kept a schedule with an old(er) friend (now SK) as I 
mobiled to work each day.  He could copy very high speed, but nearly 
always sent around 25-30 WPM. I could never send as well as I could copy 
when mobile, due to the car bouncing off potholes, other vehicles, etc. 
;-) As I got older, my sending speed fell below my copy speed even at 
home.  Regardless, unless I get a QRS request, I assume someone 
answering my CQ can copy the speed I used.
