[EIDXA] W1AW/5 cw operator

[Rick Hadley]

Back when I was a Navy CT, I knew a couple of guys who were that good.
These days I suppose it could also be just a guy who's running CW Skimmer.
I find myself using it more and more to run 2 or 3 panafalls on the Flex to
watch for activity on multiple bands
