[SOC] Its Creepy . . .

[Bob Nielsen]

I haven't used a hand key since ~1955 and my hand coordination has 
really gone downhill recently but I'm probably readable at 10 WPM or 
slower.  With a bug I can around 20 WPM and maybe 30 with an electronic 
keyer (with some errors).

If I tried fast on the hand key it  would get even sloppier.

It reminds me of the time I took my General exam in 1953 at the FCC 
office in Los Angeles.  One unfortunate applicant passed receiving at 13 
WPM but failed on the sending test (it might have been nerves).
