At a central Arkansas hamfest several years ago, they had a "CW Shootout
At High Noon". Floyd Bumpus, N5EL, and Dennis Schafer, W5RZ, tied at 55
wpm!!
A funny CW story was where a fellow ham was using Ham Radio Deluxe to do
CW with his computer (he knew the code, but not fast enough to work some
of the bands). He was working a ham on 40 meters, and the guy sent "15
wpm. Not bad...can you go faster??". The ham said "just a
second"...moved
his mouse, and tweaked the setting to 99 wpm, and resumed typing!!
The other ham noted "that was solid perfect copy"...to which came the
reply "it takes a lot of practice" (hi hi).
