Many years ago, a friend was listening to a couple of the QRQ boys on
the low end of 40 meters having at it at 70 wpm.  Chuck recorded them on
the reel-to-reel tape recorder at 7-1/2 inches per second and later
played them back at half speed.  He said that during the entire QSO
neither one of them ever got the other's callsign correct.  :=)
