Correct morse code is all about space, between caracters and between dots and dashes. Allways keep up with a speed you can handle and never go higher in speed than the one answering your CQ-call. Feel free to make a comment!
On MV Hollybank 1978 I sailed with Nick the radio operator. I used to pass time talking to him when he was working. He could indentify nationalities of the other operators because they had accents!. The move ment of the key was hardly perceptable, maybe a millimetre. All the radio officers were mad and usually drunk.
It's all about "music", the rhythm must be right but ofcourse a vibroplex has it's own rhythm/sound wich can be quite ok. Watch/listen to it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q4tzybGBQKY.html&ab_channel=Bjarne
