I get a kick out of seeing photos in QST and elsewhere of CW contesters
hunched over a keyboard and staring at a monitor. Dullsville. To me, it
ain't CW when 99% of the time you are typing in someone's call sign and
pressing a function key to respond automatically with the call sign and the
standard exchange. Of course, the contesters have to able to read CW at
high speeds, but still . . .
So I'm glad to see that a keyboard is not used by most CW types. As for the
non-CW hams, they are missing a big part of ham radio IMHO.
