I sort of like my CW drawl and probably won't change much in the next few years. But are many of you changing to keyboards?> I use CT and TRLog in contests and it's easy to slow down to the speed of the calling station - just a few quick keystrokes, log the QSO and back to F1 - CQ Contest while returning to the original speed. Contesters need the QSOs - it's quicker to slow down than have to repeat the exchange. Also I think it's good manners, and might encourage another operator to stay in the contest for a while - it's those casual operators that make it possible for serious contesters to enjoy their own 'lunatic fringe' branch of ham radio.<G> Elecraft have produced superb CW contest radios - the K2 receiver is the best that I have ever used. 73, Ken ZL1AIH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
