TERMINOLOGY:
PARIS Word Length: By convention in the Amateur
industry (utilized by ARRL and others), the length of one
“word” of CW is defined as the length of the Morse Code
characters spelling the word “PARIS.” This character (dot/
dash/space) length is used for the rigorous definition of
code speed in “words per minute.”
