@yusufis08 And another funny thing that I remember after years... American R/T :)) When american calling ashore his first words were something like this: "Listen carefully because I'm paying 5$/min" and he was talking like machine gun 1-2 minutes :)))

Russians were talking with families normally, 10 -20 minute, slowly, coz they were paying few cents a minute .... They same was with QTCs..

And american CG this is another funny thing :))))

@yusufis08 (2) These ppl were so called 'Sunday Hams' they switched on their radiostations once a week and they were sensding CW 15....24 WPM, they were able copy only basic info but if u ask them something open text they were unable to answer u... They were awful hams, loosers and they critisised u...

When CW OP is sending a lot of TFC he always sending in special way, and another good OP always is able to copy him

@yusufis08 I read yr query with that american idiot. You are complietly right! This is beauty of CW that everybody can work in other way! I was very young CW OP and I was sending 50-60 WPM telegraphy in rag chewing QSOs few hours a day, DAY-BY-DAY and I remember these old pricks who were annoyed because they were unable to copy us and they were claiming that we sending QSD/bad. They always were LOOSERS, good radioman is able to copy even very bad CW, with bad QSA, QSB, QRM, QRI ..
