I did. "Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find
the keys."
*"Typing* is the process of inputting text into a device, such as a
typewriter </wiki/Typewriter>, cell phone </wiki/Cell_phone>, computer
</wiki/Computer>, or a calculator </wiki/Calculator>, by pressing keys
on a keyboard </wiki/Computer_keyboard>. It can be distinguished from
other means of input, such as the use of pointing devices
</wiki/Pointing_device> like the computer mouse </wiki/Computer_mouse>,
and text input via speech recognition </wiki/Speech_recognition>."
Notice that any kind of typing is done by pressing keys on a keyboard.
John, PSK31 was designed by G3PLX to accommodate a typical fast typist,
or 50 wpm. Then why should a 2100 Hz-wide Pactor mode be legally allowed
to take up a full channel for keyboarding when four Pactor-II stations
could share the channel at the same time?
1.
I'll venture a guess - it is not for person-to-person communication, but
was done by the ARRL specifically for Winlink messaging, because NOBODY
needs a 300 wpm mode for keyboarding, do they!
So, 99% of the hams can now just kiss one of the 60m channels goodbye
for general use.
Thank you, ARRL! :-(

QSO's, not Pactor-II or Pactor I.
Skip, just because you are anyone else "can't" copy
P2 or P3 does not mean it does not happen. Belive me, it happens !
most of my keyboard to keyboard QSO are P2 or P3.
Can't really recall last time I had a P1 QSO

ESP - There is a difference between typing and "touch" typing.
