I have a question here. What’s the interest in working towards reaching a 50 WPM speed when the truth is that almost nobody ( a very minimal % of the ham radio community) will be able to have QSOs at that speed?
How do copying words handle the many errors we hear everyday when sending at fast speeds like 25-30 WPM? (i.e. sending 6 dots instead of a number 5; sending H instead of a 5 or a S; sending a T instead of an O; etc, etc)
Copying at 50 WPM is no doubt a high level skilled discipline, but what about sending that fast? how do you get to that and what for, to have QSOs with who?
I think saying one can send and receive morse at +50WPM is no doubt impressive, but I don’t see very well how useful that is. Personally, I prefer dedicating that time and effort on improving my skills in a new language.
For instance, by listening CW SOTA QSOs yesterday, I learnt that CZESC is the word to say hello/ciao/hola/szia/etc in Polish.
