Bill:

I don't recall working you, so don't think I'm picking on you.

I've worked a lot of DX stations with horrible fists, even though some 
of them must be sending with electronic keys, because they speed up 
drastically when sending 599, etc., slow down for the unique parts of 
the exchange.   BUT, when they send their calls the spacing is so bad 
that it takes forever to comprehend.

Some people complain when I send with my Vibroplex Blue Racer, but I can 
and do send my call perfectly.  Folks who can't send their call with 
proper spacing are considered lids in my book..
