[Elecraft] Is CW a Language? OT

[Stephen Brandt]

"Your Novice Accent" was originally printed, in QST, in the mid 1950's.  New
Novices were frequently sent reprints, by the league, shortly after they
received their Novice license.  It was reprinted in the 1990's.  Some of the
information found therein is a little dated, due to changes in technology.
One still couldn't go very far wrong if he or she followed it today.
Contests are a different ballgame.
