I was once told by an old and experienced G2++ that if I ever learned to adjust and use a Vibroplex such that I could send my callsign in excess of 20wpm and have it correctly deciphered 99% of the time then he might consider me to be an accomplished CW op. Needless to say, I have striven hard to fall short by a considerable margin but I still award myself marks for trying!
