Before my voice went away, I used to go to the bottom of 40 meters, back where the novices used to play, and practised my CW at about 7-8 WPM. I'm not a speed demon.

But now that I'm limited to text and CW, I expect my WPM will climb.

I'm really slow.

I did my 15WMP to pass the test for Advanced, but that little spurt of speed would take some time to work back up to.

I'm really slow.

Many of the SKCC operators send at 5 WPM more or less and I adjust my speed to match theirs. Nobody judges anyone else concerning their speed or quality of their fist. We all have fun doing something "retro" and I view it as my way to Elmer other ops just getting into CW. Many of the ops meet up at http://www.obriensweb.com/sked/index.php?board=skcc. Believe it or not, CW is getting quite popular again.
