Id say that texting is faster. I hate to admit it. But even with a fast code sender and reciever, there is more movement per letter. Some guys are pretty damn fast but one push of a button for a letter compared to as many as 4 pushes on a key...
It's just Sharpening, right?

Then there is numbers. No mater if its a 1 or 5 or 0, its still five pushes to make any number. BTW, the shortest letter is the "e" and a period and very long. Go figure.
I checked my log book and have never worked Joe Walsh. Bummer. But because of being a lic. Ham, i was able to find his home address. Ha.It's just Sharpening, right?

Once upon a time, Jay Leno hosted a "Morse vs SMS" contest on his show. The SMS guy
was a national speed texting champ, vs 2 hams...one sending Morse to the other, with a
hard copy result.
The hams sending Morse won, hands down, by sending/receiving CW at about
30 words per minute.Last edited by PaulKidd; 09-17-2017 at 02:24 PM. Reason: typo
