[Elecraft] Copying CW at high speeds

While I agree with the OP about copying conversational QRQ, the
redundancy/anticipation doesn't hold true when copying callsigns, such as in
the case of running RUFZ.

I don't know if the number has gone up in the last ~10 years, as that was
the last time I participated in the IARU HST, but at that time, 2 guys
(DJ1YFK and YT7AW) broke 200 WPM.  When in my prime, I hit about 120 WPM
running RUFZ.  200 sounds like a buzz saw to me.  Maybe these guys have
narrower gaps in their synapses?
