[Elecraft] One more question about CW operation

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

One of the things you will hear on the air is computer generated
keying with "contest spacing" which is a design "cram" to shorten
sending time without too much of a reduction in readibility.  Once
used to it, some prefer it.  These settings are available in various
contest boxes (Microham, etc) and contest loggers and similar programs
(N1MM, etc).

You're not losing your mind.
