Hi Jim,
I really was missing an answer and I was fearing it was because you might have felt upset with my post. I’m very sorry to realise that this seems to be actually the case.
I’m very sorry that you see me as a naysayer. I’m NOT at all. The problem is that you seem to have completely missunderstood my post.
The fact is I started my post with “I have a question here” and I finally asked 3 questions, but you haven’t answered to none of them and the only purpose of my post was asking these questions to a very experienced and highly skilled morse operator because I just want to know it from someone like you.
My 3 questions were these:
-
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)
-
What about sending that fast, how do you get to that?
In case you were so kind to answer to these questions, I’d be very grateful and may start an interesting conversation/discussion/exchange/debate. (call it as you like)
Thanks in advance.
