In the 70s and 80s I listened to 55-65 WPM tapes on the way to work for FUN!! Now that my age exceeds that, CW seems to top out at 30 WPM and I can hardly remember the call suffix by the time I enter a prefix.

When I call CQ, I usually don't get answers, so speed is sort of irrelevent. CWGET and most of the other computer code copying programs have proven pretty usless.

I have written call stacking macros and in the last contest I only had two chances to use them.

My latest solutions, RTTY, Hell Feld, PSK, 6 meters, 160 etc.

With ham radio, the fun never stops.
