Many ham are American Red Cross first aid and adult CPR instructors.

That trumps CW at any speed.




Have you ever givin CPR to a person 500 miles away? You must have long

This ham know CPR.

I wonder how many a retired old-timer who decided to join ham radio
stroked out instead while doing speed runs trying to get to 13/20wpm on
CW?

CW kills.
