[GreenKeys] Anyone interested in 100WPM?

[ad7i]

I'd love to see a 100 WPM channel.  My 28RO, which is apparently a Dr
Frankenstein creation, is stuck at 100 WPM and I'm told has goofy gears, so
not easy to re-gear 60 WPM.  I use an Arduino to convert 60 WPM to 100 PM
and smooth out the character print rate.  It would be nice to let it run at
a full gallop on occasion.

Paul, ad7i
