Mike,

What you heard was  pc keying generated by a Winkeyer USB.    My problem 
is deciphering what is coming at me out of the headphones.    Things get 
going too fast and I freeze like a deer in the headlights.

For some of these guys, high speed cw is like a religion.   For me 20 
wpm is the ragged edge, but  i know I'm really just playing at the 
kiddie end of the pool.

73, hope we cross paths in an upcoming contest, Steve KW3A
