Dave, here's something to ponder.  4L0A currently has the World high-claimed
score for the Multioperator-Single Transmitter category.  They made ~7300
QSOs in 48 hours with ONE transmitter.  That means they made 7300/48 = 152
QSOs every hour on average.  That's ~2.5 per minute or roughly one complete
QSO every 24 seconds over the entire 48 hour period.  Perhaps now you see
their obsession with saving time by minimizing the exchange and sending it
at high speeds!

73,  Bill
