"No victory is ever complete, nor ever enough to last the whole year.
Neither Apollo nor Dionysus can reign forever, neither can do without
the other, neither can be there all the time. When Apollo reappears
and squeezes Dionysus's arm, we hear the last notes of the dithyrambs,
and immediately afterward the first of the paeans. The only continuity
is sound." (Roberto Calasso. The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony

Well, be interesting to get some newbies on 'em in cw. Most, even with
a code sheet in front of 'em--and having to use it, should be able to do
1wpm, should be fun to watch.

Have 'em engage some 20+ wpm hams and have those hams help 'em out!

Better yet, maybe they could just so "free style cw", random patterns
just to get just used to the di-dahs and handling a key ...
