Hi Bob,
at the HST 2004 in Nis EU7KI copied letter groups at 260 BpM, figures
also at 260 BpM and mixed groups at 210 BpM, over a period of one
minute (the speed is effective speed, not PARIS; I don't know what the
factor is, but it guess it's around 320 for letters, 460 for figures).
At these speeds the art is to write the copied groups down; the top
competitors from EU, UA and YO use a special shorthand system to do
this.
The full results of the receiving competition can be found at

As you might notice, most of the calls are totally unknown on the air,
most of them have never made a QSO. They consider High Speed
Telegraphy as a sport which has little to do with ham radio.
73, Fabian
