Greetings from Idaho,
I used this weekend's ARRL DX contest as a chance to improve my code
speed. I am just about ready to take my 20wpm test. I worked up to about
32-35 wpm contest exchanges (that is what my CMOS II keyer said it was set
on) and noticed improvement in my copying ability after a few dozen QSO's.
Then I heard a station (?VP2EV) really ripping along. It took literally
dozens of times before I copied his call and worked him ( I confess that I
wasn't running QRP). Any hints on how to copy a call in a contest when it
is just too fast? How about tricks with a tape recorder or whatever? Or
should you give up after a dozen or so tries? 73, Charlie
