Are you a talented cw op?

[WD0CT]

I knew a ham the played the spoons and sent cw at the same time with the same spoons.

His transmitter used cathode keying and he would have to get quite intoxicated to keep from twitching to much. If he twitched too much the dots made his ears twitch. Other times
dashes made his lips twitch.

How talented are you? Can you rub your head cw and your belly ccw and send cw with your toes? What is your top speed in this mode?

hee hee hee

he thinks just because some one passes a 5 / 13 / 20 word per minute morse code test that they actually USE it ( cw ) on a daily basis.


yea ----suuuure !!

[WD0CT]

Do you play the spoons Robert?

[N2RJ]

I routinely use CW while driving.

Absolutely not recommended.

Top speed? I'm pretty happy around 15-18wpm. I could do 20 if I concentrate. But as they say in FISTS - accuracy transcends speed.

[WD0CT]

Yeah but do you use spoons?

Why does this remind me of the classic PJ O'Rourke piece from Car and Driver in the early '80s:

"How to Drive Fast on Drugs while Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed Without Spilling Your Drink"

Now that, old son, was what you call journalism.

I will definitely google that article. Some of those guys had the knack!

Sounds like something Hunter Thompson would have come up with. Yeah, Fear and Loathing on the drunk wing-wang trail.

I can talk on my radios, listen to music so loud it makes my mirrors vibrate, watch TV or DVDs, talk on the cell phone, even send/receive CW or text while driving, but I absolutely must draw the line at spoons.

That's too dangerous.
