For me faster CW is sent by hand with paddle or bug and copied in my
head. You can't force it just keep at it. Try sending with your keyer set
just a bit faster than normal each time and let your reflexes adapt to
the new timing. If your use to writing everything down, you'll have to go
to a slower copy rate that you can copy in your head, relax it will come.
CW really is a blast when you can copy in your head most anything on the
air without straining. As for 35+ don't ask me how, it just comes through
in words and people talking. At these speeds you can really hear the
quality of a TEN*TEC keying. I don't know what they did to the Omni-VI
but I prefer the Omni-V and older keying systems. Yeacomwoods ain't even
in the same league, mushy with pops and everything run all together. In
fact the old Drake T-4X(any)s sound a lot better on the air than any
import ever will.
Jeff aa8ve Ten*Tec - The choice is clear.
