Kevin, tnx for the reply. I fully understand the reasoning for closer spacing. I’ll try to checkin sometime when condx are a bit better, it was (349) copy through fast QSB and lots of summer QRN here at my place in GA.

Tnx for the memory….worked Tom many times….was a great guy. :)

Hi Tom,

?? Your namesake, Tom Hammond (N0SS now SK), put a speed limit on me a 
long time ago.? I run at about 20 to 21 wpm, a good conversational 
speed.? Faster ops are welcome as are those who run more slowly.? While 
working slower operators I put more space between each character and 
between words but maintain my character rate.? If I slow down too much 
my fingers get stuck either open or closed which causes many malformed 
characters.? I should not have been so hard on my hands when I was younger.

?? 73,

?????? Kevin.? KD5ONS
