[Elecraft] CW Decoding - Your Brain is best

[F5vjc]

Amen !

At last some sense here. Anyone who believes you can successfully operate
 CW using a decoder is living in cuckoo land !
For a CW contest... forget it !
Decoders are very poor at coping with typical HF conditions, QRM, QRN, QSB,
ESP signals, poor sending, spacing, bad spelling, all will produce
frustrating gibberish from a decoder. ( Yes they are improving but will
never be good enough).
Any real CW Op knows this.
However, the Brain of a real CW Op can cope with this all of in a
remarkable way and is much more satisfying.

You either want to be a CW Op or not.

If not,  stick with the automated digital modes.
