[Elecraft] New concept/tool for CW dxing

[Romanchik Dan]

It's all a matter of where you draw the line. This is just more  
technology, and technology is **supposed** to make things easier.  
Following your line of reasoning, we'd have to disqualify those using  
DSP  or beam antennas because it makes DXing harder for those that  
don't have them.

73!
