Hi, Duane. Well, you've got an interesting point. If it's a fixed value, then as my CW speed increases, the relay delay time becomes a bigger and bigger percentage of my inter-dit time, and at some speed that will cease to be QSK. 

This brings up a point. Maybe a figure of merit for an amplifier would be the maximum speed at which you can still hear in between dits. 

I wonder which amp/rig combination is the fastest one out there right now? I was hoping that the QSK aficionados would have already run through every amp on the face of the earth and rated them according to this figure of merit.
