[TowerTalk] Text Messaging VS CW Results - Jay Leno Show

[Chuck O'Neal]

Um....an "exchange" in a CW contest is vastly different than sending an
information based message with real words as done on the Tonight Show.
Voice will win out since one can understand up to 300 words a minute
although the average is 150 WPM or so.
