[Elecraft] CW Decoding - Your Brain is best

[Fred Smith]

Colin

Not directed at any one person sorry if you took it that way, if it had been
your name would have been on it. But from your comments it sounded like you
had never used them and had an axe to grind. With the "just leave a computer
running and have DXCC" from that statement it became apparent your disdain
for others who do not share your exact opinions.

I enjoy all modes and whatever means others use to accomplish them is fine
with me as long as they follow the rules. It's a hobby one to be enjoyed I
do and I don't let little things bother me at all on either side of the pond

If that was directed at me Fred it is simply not true. My comments are from
experience not dogma.
