I had guessed between 20 and 25 wpm. I managed to copy all of it, but
it would have REALLY frosted those young whipper-snappers if they
had done it with a sounder and hand key.
Personally, I thought the telegrapher's outfits were MOST appropriate.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I downloaded a copy and have played it about a
dozen times...so far.
