[Elecraft] RF build up

[R March]

It's a little known aspect of special relativity which was in fact predicted
by Einstein's equations.  That coupled with the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle implies that as you approach a certin limiting speed in CW,  the
actual transmission speed will slow down and one will no longer be able to
distinguish dots from dashes.
