Thanked: 3Nope, but from time to time I'll spell stuff out just for fun. I spent 22 weeks at Ft. Devens, Ma listening to morse code 8-10 hours a day - I was ready to impale myself with a bayonet towards the end
. To graduate the school one had to copy "20 groups" per min. Iirc, I was up to 24-26 when I finished. Several were into the low 30's. I'm not sure what this equates to in Ham speed, but I remember typing for several seconds after the code ended. It was impossible to keep up letter for letter. When I was in (1990-1994), the only thing I remember copying was taped maritime stuff. It was a very boring job that I got looped into during bootcamp. I was stationed in Hawaii for three years tho
