You say 12 wpm, thats not too bad, I knew a CPO who could receive and send 40 wpm and that was when he had had some time in he claimed he did better during the war, when he came out of A school. When I went through A school we had to qualify at 20wpm send/receive, of course this is 30 years ago and only the subs recieved CW, but thats all changed now to VLF, and satilite communications. TSK tsk too bad it was fun.
