[Elecraft] Analysis of a CW Communication

[Fred Jensen]

Non-revenue chatter on the marine CW frequencies in the 50's ran 
anywhere from 10 to 35-40 WPM.  The Company urged revenue traffic in the 
18-20 WPM range.  They'd found that speed range maximized traffic 
throughput over time.  Of course, revenue traffic was almost always 
longer than "5NN TU". [:-)

Yep, a few hours on the Holy Frequency could lead to a persistent headache.
