People like you who are real idiots because you forget that when you started out on CW you also had to start slowly and build your CW speed with practice over many years, now your arrogant attitude forgets where and how you started yet you expect new CW operator to be instant 60WPM experts. If CW is dying is because of arrogant people like you not because there is no new hams wanting to be interested in CW. You can hear this arrogance on the CW bands daily, operators who get called by slow stations yet they dont even have the courtesy of slowing down for new operators. Look at your attitude before making stupid arrogant elitist comments.
Dear QRPNEW!
First of all, I did not forgot when and how did I learned cw. 2nd I don't expect anybody, to be a 60WPM expert. 3rd CW is not dying at all, in fact it is pretty much alive!!
I don't know where are you listening to cw at? MARS? because here on earth, there is a huge amount of cw activity on the air.
Too bad, that you have an antenna called: Inverted twisted under the bed slightly bent at the end. Other wise you would hear me on the bands, but not only hear me, but actually hear me slowing down from 40 WPM to 18WPM if somebody calls me at that speed and I never had any problem with that. In fact I love to play at any speed, because speed is not that important for me at all. Although if some one calls me at 60 WPM I would really love to have a long conversation with that person :-)
You don't have any Idea about my daily operating procedure, so you are the one who is making arrogant comments, just because you are struggling with cw.
