Would you care to share that with the rest of us? C'mon, spill the
beans. We're dying to know if "slow" even has a license. :-)

Ultimately, they've confused a "Learning Method" with a REGULATORY
requirement.

Sigh...ain't it da troot?

Then I'm told that "I" don't have common sense.

It would be like marching at Arlington and calling out "Leff Right
Leff." Sheesh!

But if we were able to have have 100% participation and every amateur
were offered a manual morse code key and a downloaded copy of CWGet....


The people who know Morse code would probably turn it down as they would not
want to operate a contest handicapped by using CWGet.

The Morse Code test consists of 5 minutes of Morse Code. How many words
are in those tests?

At 5 wpm, there would be 25
At 13 wpm, there would be 65
At 15 wpm, there would be 75

(A word is 5 characters)

Not all words are 5 characters, unless your working with random groups
of five.


Granted not all words are five characters long. However, in order to
develop the test, the "standard" word is defined as 5 characters even though
word lengths may vary. This is then used to determine the character count
in the test message.

For 5 minutes of Morse Code:
At 5wpm, the character count is 125 characters
At 13wpm, the character count is 325 characters
At 15wpm, the character count is 375 characters
At 20wpm, the character count is 500 characters

The number of characters, not words, copied is the basis on which the code
tests are graded if one uses the 1 minute solid copy option to pass. This
compensates for the fact that not all words are the same length. For the
5wpm test, that means only 25 characters in a row need to be correctly
copied. While all alphabetic characters count as one each, punctuation and
prosigns count as two each due to their length.
