It would be interesting to d a study and see just how many CW op's actually
work QSK. I've been on CW since '54 and have never used it (except back in
my CW traffic days with a separate antenna on the RX). 73

Roger is correct. Fast (semi break-in) works very well and is better and
safer for equipment than QSK. Additionally, I have seen the same issues
with speeds above 35WPM in some cases.
I started as a novice with a DX-100 and before I got it on the air I
built a solid state TR switch (using a RadioShack no name JFET) into the
transmitter, so there was a receiver connector on the back of the
transmitter. My first cw contact was with full "break in keying."
Initially and to this day I find bursts of noise and band sounds between
elements undesirable.
Now I use the VOX delay to keep the transceiver in the TX mode
continually unless I pause unusually long between words.
