Excellent! No waterfalls, streaming, firmware updates or re-boots required and there's still Drakes in shacks. Wonder how many 7300's will still be operational in another 60 years? They don't make'em like they used to.
60wpm is (super-)humanly workable. My first CW tutor (1967 Napier NZ) was ZL2AFZ, George Studd, an ex-Post (& Telegraph or Office, take your pick) telegrapher, and he could work greater. He could converse by CW simultaneous to a vocal conversation on a different topic! and at one 5-character word per second that's faster than most can write - OR SPEAK!
