[CQ-Contest] WHY - and other observed behavior

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I suspect I am not alone- when my CW starts to run into a wall, around 
40 wpm, it is characters with more than 3 dits and no dashes that leave 
me thinking "what the heck was that?"  I was one of those who had 
trouble with Mario's call last weekend.

73, Pete N4ZR
