But perfectly sent computer code is also "bad." Go figure.
Good to bad CW is on a scale, for me, if I had to take a few hundred words of QTC tfc a nice steady 20 22wpm and a really clean sender that used BT AR and did a COL at the end made my life easy, you could just sit there and flick the form into the typewriter and off you go, Oh and also tell me whether it was a QTC, SLT or OBS in time for me to get the right form in.
The other extreme was an OP who as soon as you called and sent QRV K was off the like a greyhound, no breaks, no idea of what was coming, and quite often appalling CW, at the end K and then they would wonder why there was a lot RQ AA AB.
So the quality of the CW is really quite important, bit like the old adage of crap in = crap out, we did the best we could, but the mindreading module I seemed to have missed.
It really shows in how many people send NST.
