[Elecraft] CW Decoding - Your Brain is best

[KQ8M]

I challenge anyone using strictly software to copy CW to beat me in the next CQ WW WPX CW contest. I will use software only for
logging and sending. I will copy CW myself.

Mundane exchanges. I bet the Software messes up so many exchanges it gets disqualified.

I wonder what constitutes a QSO on some digital modes. Using Opera you 
can click the auto QSO button and even automatically upload the 'QSO' 
to eqsl. The op does not have to do anything much other than watch the 
screen. You could get your DXCC by just leaving the computer running 
long enough. Thing is who would get the award, the computer or the OP? 
No contact with other human beings and minimal effort. Buy a radio, an 
antenna and a PC, download the software, add you details to the prog 
and let it run? Is that what the hobby has come to?
