The long road to 5WPM and exactly 1.5 QSOs on CW.

and yet nobody has anytrouble understanding me even on HF

Dave would severely injure himself if he heard you on HF.

how well I could do

Keep looking, Junior. Until last month, I'd not participated in a CW
Sweepstakes contest since before you ever obtained an amateur license.
I worked no W8DUA this year. Keep "tlaking another f my fired" until
you begin firing on all cylinders.

the result was as I recal 40sates worked and a conversation form
uncomitied to no code of several club hams

Doesn't count. You didn't work hard enough. Secret handshake or
something.

That isn't it. His problem is that he used a mode "uncomitied to no
code of several club hams" or something like that. Lately he has been
busy being repated. I'd love to have heard Mark's CW operation during a
Sweepstakes 'test. I'll bet is sounded like someone falling down a
flight of stairs with a keyer and a Scrabble game.
