[EIDXA] Working K1N on CW

[Joe Hetrick]

This also reminds me: has any one played with Pileup Runner?  I'm wondering, from the DX side, when that will happen, really (even the contest side, really..)-- the emphasis in PR is basically visual copy.  To run really high rates, and a high score, you need to be working the next station visually and then calling them; you can even call without QSY at times.

I think it would be akin to an outstanding op queuing calls in their head and then working several stations at once, or, in sequence based on having them in the grey-queue.
