Think so, do you? I'll bet I can get more thru put on CW than you can on
phone in the same amount of time. I'm not talking about a short sentence.
I mean real traffic.

How do you figure that the CW throughput will beat phone - at least for
clear text. I know that good CW ops can sail along at 50 wpm ( like my
Dad, unfortunately not me). But I thought speech was more like 200-300
wpm. So if you do not need to spell out unusual words, phone should
beat CW easily. The results could differ if we factor in odd ball words
or code groups and QRM/QRN but I thought this was simply clear text.
