Surely the number of contacts lost because people like me who are not CW wizards just can't copy them must negate the benefit of any time saved? These stations were repeatedly calling CQ and if I could have read them we could have easily had a contact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ That's exactly why most commercial CW circuits strictly forbade high speed operation, often enforcing a 15 to 18 wpm maximum speed rule. Moderate speeds moves information faster than higher speeds, especially when a variety of stations are in contact such as traffic handling between ships and shore stations. I assume they didn't respond to a "QRS" from you...
