Re: [Repeater-Builder] Morse Code Contest on JAY LENO
So my estimate of 30 was only off by 3.68 WPM. I'll concede that I was
off by 10%. :-)

I am not sure about this and I am at the office
and do not have the formula for wpm (but I think it is continuous dots
anyway), but the text messager (Ben Cook) said that he could send 160
characters in 57 seconds ("very quick"). That would be over 30 wpm
at 5 characters per word. (Roughly 160/5 x 60/57 = 33.68
wpm)The phrase that was sent was about 39 characters (I didn't count a
period at the end, but I thought I heard one). That would be about 8
words (eight words if you count the period). But, according to
the time line of the video it took 20 seconds (actually less because they
had to turn over the card and look before starting to send. That
took maybe 3 seconds, so the time was maybe 17 seconds?That makes
their speed about 28.24 wpm (60/17 x 8). Of course, this is a case
where split seconds could make words of difference since my only
resolution was 1 second on the clock. But it seemed a lot faster to
me. I would expect that they would not have done less than 35 wpm to
be sure they had a margin of victory. It was a great performance
though.Micheal Salem N5MSJOHN MACKEY

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Morse Code Contest on JAY LENO
I posted the text last night ("I just saved a bunch of money on my car
insurance"). I think there was an 'extra dit' after the y in the word
'my', but otherwise it was correct. The audience QRM was pretty bad
during that section, and likely interfered with the sender's hearing of
what he was sending, too. Try sending code without being able to hear
the sidetone. It's a bear.

I think they wanted to promote the 'old tech' aspect of it. They did mention that morse code was 175 years old, I think. IOW: Newer is not always better (or faster). Joe M.
