In 1997 on Pantelleria expedition & CQ WPX Contest I was able to use 
TRlog with Autosend option at speeds up to 47 WPM. I am not a 
"wunderkind" :-) but some training helps. There is no need to correct 
possible typing errors, it is acceptable to send out a badly typed call 
and return back to the call input field, presumed that the program will 
send the corrected callsign again. Some guys have a problem when the 
call is not received correctly at first atempt. QRM/QRN/QSB may occur 
but a strong signal on a clean frequency must be received at first 
attempt - if not, the op should switch the Autosend feature off. 
Therefore I assume the fear is not relevant, Autosend is not for 
everyone. Alsdo the program should never think for the operator :-)
