Myself also Fred. My Dad of course could do 60 wpm but then again he was
an old time naval telegraphist from the olden day mould of WW1 when that
was the leading edge of communication.

Hello All,

Very nice posts and I likes Ian's in particular. I have read your
tutorials many time in the past. Good stuff.  I am new to SOC and
enjoying it, just wish I could have more QSO's with you guys. The
conditions are terrible.

On the subject of speed, is it really the mark of a great operator? I
have heard some ops using keyboards at 50-60 wpm. I much prefer
listening to a slow swingy bug or stuttering straight key than  a
machine....maybe that's why I am Second Class, being a straight key man
mostly all these years since joining the merchant navy. 

Although I must say listening to some FOC's is also good. James / 9 V 1
Y C is a compatriot and Shin / J A 1 N U T likes to QSO with the
lowliest, including me.

PS This bounced back due to me using a wrong email address... typical
SOC. I hope this gets to you..
