Plus think how cool it is for the person your talking to on the other end to know your talking with someone doing CW mobile. I want to practice at doing it some more to get better at it. I think a nice Elmac AF-67 with a PMR-6 receiver would be fun to use! Oh, can't forget the Master Mobile antenna!

Does anyone have any factual information on impaired driving senses when operating CW. After all, one hand is off the wheel and just where is the mind?

On the road, of course. Many can talk on the phone and drive safely. CW is safer because the key is in a comfortable place, not in one's ear.

Been doing this since high school... never an accident in 6 decades. But I would suggest that those who want to try it learn to copy in your head (conversationally) and if necessary to take occasional notes, keep the notepad clipped atop the dash within eye-view. and keep your eyes on the road, always. (common sense)

It's sure a great companion on long trips (and most always QRM free).
