Aah, Nick, you spotted last night's un-deliberate mistake!! What I
really meant was I won't speed up or slow down ANY part of a message!

Like Bob 5B4AGC said, a UK station trying that in BERU would really look
a P--T. At a top-end rate of say 10-15 Q/H just how many more Qs would
expect!!! Maybe one more Daaaaaah dit dit - dit - dit daaah dit, dit dit
daaaaaah (on your straight key of course!)!!!
