[Elecraft] CW Keying

[Alan Bloom]

Years ago, Chuck Bender W1WPR, chief operator at W1AW, was giving the
Novice exam to young Jamie White, son of a couple HQ staffers.  He
didn't want to make the 5 wpm CW test too easy for fear of being accused
of going easy on the ARRL kid.  The text included:

"McKeesport is situated at the confluence of the Youghiogheny and the
Monongahela."

I believe Jamie got 100%.
