I'm finished with this thread to many people making statements that have no real world experience using the latest CW software. And worst of all not a clue as to how many complete canned responses they get during a contest. The only way to know is if the op is using a key is if he has such a poor fist you can't understand him. In a DX pileup all it takes is to push 2 buttons on the front of the K3 and the CW contact finished you've read it on the P3/SVGA screen Wonderful!!!
Thanks for all the useful comments posted and everyone have a great "Veterans Day" and remember all those who fought for our country. Even now and our standing in the world and at home. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M5FRA - Colin Sent: Friday, November 09, 2012 1:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CW Decoding - Your Brain is best I wonder what constitutes a QSO on some digital modes. Using Opera you can click the auto QSO button and even automatically upload the 'QSO' to eqsl. The op does not have to do anything much other than watch the screen. You could get your DXCC by just leaving the computer running long enough. Thing is who would get the award, the computer or the OP? No contact with other human beings and minimal effort. Buy a radio, an antenna and a PC, download the software, add you details to the prog and let it run? Is that what the hobby has come to?
