[UK-CONTEST] CW speed

[David Ferrington]

As someone who is about to start learning morse, this is an interesting
thread, I really do want to learn, but talk of only contesting at around
30wpm is very off putting - as G4BUO said, even 12wpm is daunting.

Since its early days for me yet, I can't say how things will go, but if I
can't contest at a slower speed, I might just give up in frustration.

The main driver to me at present is to be able to work DX in these poor
conditions, since I'm not getting far with SSB. However, if the future of CW
contests is 30wpm, I might be dead before I get there.
