[EIDXA] W1AW/5 cw operator

[Richard Heinrich]

This is not really all that unusual!  Even today's logging software allows
for copying multiple calls and sequencing them.  The problem is
establishing a rhythm.  Think about it - you wait for a QSO to complete and
then you call - but wait - he just called someone else and then someone
else...  When do I call - maybe he is listening somewhere else - what do I
do???

CN2R is one of the best at this - and ops that run low power and QSK can do
this best.  (QSK at high power has so much desense that it is harder.)

I would be interested in his rate!
