With a "bug" or electronic keyer a good Morse operator can reach 60-70 wpm. And that's with just 2 keys -- dot and dash. Granted that this does require significant experience and skill. And a stenotype (tm?) machine allows experienced operators speeds well over 100 wpm (two hands, 14? keys). -- Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{hao,ihnp4,decvax}!noao!terak!doug
