[Elecraft] K3: QRQ high-speed QSK

[Tommy Alderman]

Please get this correct! He did not copy at 200 wpm. He copied one call sign
at 200 wpm, but copying code and/or having a QSO at that speed is a
completely different situation. What he did was excellent but as I just
said, copying one call sign and having a QSO at those speeds is quite a
different animal.

Tom - I was reviewing some of the archived posts and ran across this one.
FYI, QSOs at 100 WPM happen on 40 CW and on the Internet (iCW).  This is
copying in one's head, not on paper.  There are a handful of guys, and one
YL, who have broken the 200 WPM barrier with RUFZ, copying a single callsign
at that speed.  I forget who was first - either Goran, YT7AW or Fabian,
DJ1YFK, both of whom I've met at the HST competition - and they look normal
:.)

There are also some incredibly fast eastern EUs who copy very high speeds on
paper with a shorthand system.  I presented at the Contest Forum in Dayton
4-5 years ago and showed a picture of what the shorthand looks like. 
McElroy's ~75 WPM (on paper) record is long gone.
