One interesting thing I’ve noted about my CW is that when I’m in contact with an operator that’s making a lot of sending mistakes, or just has a poor fist in general, I tend to be sloppier with sending than if I’m in contact with someone who’s sending very accurately. The reverse is true, too. When I’m not at my best, I notice that the other operator makes more mistakes than he or she would likely make if I was sending better.
The moral of the story? If you want the operators you contact to send good code (making it easier for you to copy), then you need to make every effort to send accurately yourself.
