Want to try to beat this challenge with Morse Code?

Page typed in a 26-word phrase in 35.54 seconds, beating the previous top speed of 41.4 seconds.
With my decades-rusty Morse skills and a virtual "straight key", it took me 95 seconds. That's about 16 WPM (exactly the speed I practiced at when I was a teen). The winning texter was about 45 WPM. I never practiced with an iambic keyer, but for those who use them, 50 WPM does not seem like a stretch.
