PARIS Word Length: By convention among CW and
Amateur operators (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
specific definition of code speed in "words per minute".
