Non-revenue chatter on the marine CW frequencies in the 50's ran
anywhere from 10 to 35-40 WPM. The Company urged revenue traffic in the
18-20 WPM range. They'd found that speed range maximized traffic
throughput over time. Of course, revenue traffic was almost always
longer than "5NN TU". [:-)
Yep, a few hours on the Holy Frequency could lead to a persistent headache.
