Ed,
Maybe that works for some people, but my last CW QSO happened some time in
the early 70s. I'm not putting down the mode for those who enjoy it, and I
definitely respect the skill and challenge it presents; I'm just saying it's
not my thing. Maybe part of that comes from having used it 8 hours a day
for the better part of a year as the output for my computer terminal. That
definitely built up my speed and proficiency, but once I got a braille
terminal, I just never looked back.
Steve
