Your inability to perceive the problem is (likely) directly proportional to the years you have been doing code. ;) I did code mobile for the first time recently. Coming back from dropping my son off at Camp Lejeune. It was the New Eng. QSO party. My paddles were the buttons on the mic of a 706. It was lots of listening up front. Then just reply to their call.

Re: [Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed
For several years I kept a schedule with an old(er) friend (now SK) as I mobiled to work each day. He could copy very high speed, but nearly always sent around 25-30 WPM. I could never send as well as I could copy when mobile, due to the car bouncing off potholes, other vehicles, etc. ;-) As I got older, my sending speed fell below my copy speed even at home. Regardless, unless I get a QRS request, I assume someone answering my CQ can copy the speed I used.

Re: [Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed
Not always. Even if the Op who answers your call can copy high speed CW, he might be replying at slow speed for some good reason such as echo on your signal, which can make copy of high speed CW difficult, hoping that you will slow down. At this latitude 56N multipath echo occurs quite frequently on 40m signals from the West Coast. A reply at 15wpm seems to work, but a reply at a higher speed can become garbled when echo is present.

Re: [Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed
I'm capable of sending much faster than I can reliably copy. So I find what works best for me is I send slower to start off to try and get the other person to match my speed. I'm sending much slower than I can but I send slower so that I can copy. I find that 9 times out of 10 people answer me at considerably higher speed than I'm sending. Commonly I'll call at 10WPM and get calls at 13 to 15 which is the difference between solid cpy and I'm barely getting what your saying cpy. But I usually muddle through. I find that I'm happiest if I can send faster and talk the other OP into QRSing below my sending speed. Allows me to get out what I had to say and also get a better print of what they are saying. I find that it often reduces stress on the faster guy and they talk to me longer too. ~Brett (KC7OTG) -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of dw Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 9:27 AM To: Elecraft_List Subject: [Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed What's the general consensus?
