I always match the other person's speed if he's sending slower than me.
If he's sending faster, I'll pick up the pace to match as long as it's
within my comfortable speed range.
On rare occasion I find operators who send much faster than they can copy
and ask me to QRS below their sending
Is it logical to assume that a person's CW sending speed approximates
their copy speed?
Well, it's *logical* - that just doesn't always mean it's true. :)
After a long period of inactivity, my copy speed right now is about 10

I'd be very sad if you QRT in a QSO with me because you sped up above your
copy speed. Why not just tell the story as you did here?
Anyone worth chewing the rag with will get a chuckle out of it and be happy

simply cannot copy anywhere near that.
I'm trying a new technique. I'm going to copy received code by typing
it on my computer. I can type an easy 60-70 WPM so I'm hoping that by
putting down the pencil and banging on the

caller sending at half the speed which I called or sending extreme
farnsworth, I almost always lower my speed in order to be
QRQ ?
