[Elecraft] QRQ CW

[Chester Alderman]

The solution to the QWERTY 'problem' is to switch to a Dvorak key placement
keyboard! 

When I began learning how to do QRQ, I could not send over about 40 wpm on
my QWERTY keyboard. A friend suggested I try the Dvorak board, which I did.
After about four months my typing speed was in excess of 100 wpm. I'm sure I
never could have done QRQ CW without changing to the Dvorak key placement
board.

I can copy 50 WPM on a good day, but when I encounter ops running higher
speeds, or if the ol' synapses are dulled by a glass of vino, I eavesdrop
using the built-in text decoder (K3 and KX3). I find such signals on 40 m
during the day, usually. I think these ops are using keyboards, more often
than not, based on the number of mistakes correlated to QWERTY.
