[EIDXA] W1AW/5 cw operator

I have heard stories about cw operators that listen to a pile-up for a few seconds 
and pick out 4-5 calls from the mess and proceed to call them in turn.  I have never 
heard or worked one.

Tuesday evening I chased W1AW/5 on 160m cw.  The operator was such a person.  
He never worked only one person, and it was usually 4 or more at a time.  He had 
to be copying more than one call at a given instant. 

I listened to him for quite a while.  In all my years of dxing I have never experienced 
this.  Awesome!
