[Elecraft] another contesting how-to question

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

My main shack computer is an 8-year-old Pentium 4 running Windows XP.  
At various times, I have run serial port and parallel port CW, as well 
as Winkey.  I never had any difficulty with CW quality with any keying 
method and N1MM Logger.

I have settled on Winkey, for two reasons.  First, a single keyer gives 
me both manual keying (for DXing and ragchewing) and flawless CW for use 
with N1MM Logger.  Second, using the Winkey allows me to interrupt a 
"canned" message being sent with a single dit or an interjection from 
the paddle, seamlessly.
