[Elecraft] QRQ CW

[Brian Alsop]

I wonder where Dave got this idea from. I'd like to suggest it is 
wishful thinking.

The contest winners clearly are superior ops and will use whatever speed 
benefits them.  Likely higher speeds early in the contest and lower 
speeds later.  Not a fixed speed throughout.

I don't know why there is such an aversion to admitting that many people 
can copy more than 40 WPM.  There is no law of physics or biology 
preventing it.  After all people routinely talk and 300 WPM.  If one can 
decode those utterances at 300 WPM why not simple dot/dash CW at 40 WPM?
