Nice "Icing on the Cake" to the broadband SSB thread.
I'm only slightly bad at bandwidth consumption. I'm a middle of
the road guy. I only do medium speed. I may peak at 40 to 50
wpm in contests, but in real QSO's I'm simply more comfortable at
25 to 30 wpm.
Now compared to spark gap, I guess we're all pretty narrow!

Subject: [TenTec] Seriously OT: High Speed CW
Given the high level of concern for broadband SSB shown on the
list
recently, I thought it resonable to make the following
proposition. As
we all know, the width of a CW signal increases as a function of
the
switching speed. Given that high speed CW is therefore occupying
a
larger bandwidth that I at 5 wpm, should there not be some quiet
corner
devoted solely to slow speed CW. We could then operate quietly
and
efficiently, and feel good about only occupying a proper amount
of
bandwidth.
This is less radical than my original thought, which was to
penalize
high speed CW operation by limiting the number of hours of
operation as
afunction of speed. The point could be made that the high speed
operator needs less time anyway.
Happy Friday 13th (with tongue firmly in cheek)
