When I was first licensed, in the '50s, there was a "game" that some
chose to play. Those playing this game were almost always novices. The
game was to gradually increase your sending speed until the other op
yelled uncle by sending "pse qrs". Of course, you started this game at
your own risk. I have listened to exchanges where the originator of the
game was himself "burned", as it was called, by inadvertently picking on
someone who was more proficient than he was. I never tried playing the
game myself, but was on occasion the victim of it.
Even today, new CW ops can often send faster than they can receive. I
am elmering a young technician who sends much faster than he can
receive. Before anyone gets their shorts in a knot, we are
communicating on 6 meters.
