[GreenKeys] Anyone interested in 100WPM?

[Doug Alderdice]

A couple of my 28s have the three-speed gear shift and can do 100 WPM. 
I don't know that I would use a 100 WPM ITTY channel a lot (I don't use 
the 60 WPM channel a lot), but would use it from time to time to 
exercise the machines in question, much as I do with 60 WPM.

I agree that a 28 running 100 WPM seems like it will fly apart.  Some 
years back I once copied I think a W1AW bulletin at 100 WPM on one of my 
28s and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  Nick's video brought it 
all back.

73,
