[EIDXA] W1AW/5 cw operator

[Joe Hungate - K8OM]

He's operated on several bands (W1AW/5) and consistently  worked at least 3 
stations in a row. The first time I worked him I changed my transmit 
frequency so I was up a couple hundred Hertz from the station he just 
worked. I figured I wouldn't work him when he sent my call since I was no 
longer on my original transmit frequency but I sent 5NN IA anyway and he 
immediately sent TU.

I assumed he was using some sort of a code reader program that was decoding 
and displaying everything in his receiver passband. But maybe not, he may be 
doing all of the decoding in his head..... if he is, that is really 
impressive!

I think he was a cwop, I'll dig back through the CWOps reflector to see who 
had stated they'd be running CW.

I too have heard of these mythical ops, it would be very awesome to hear 
one.
