[WT-support] Speed jumps up occasionally

[John Warburton G4IRN]

To echo what others have said - we also had problems with the messages 
getting faster. We were NOT using an outboard keying device, the CW was 
being keyed directly from the PC's. I guess that may eliminate Winkey as 
being the issue? We were however using ++ and -- in the messages.

As someone previously stated, it seemed like a neat idea at one point that 
the speed should increase with the QSO rate. However it all got a bit silly 
when it got too fast and we had to revert to hand-keying, as altering the CW 
speed would not get it back to normal.
