[Elecraft] K3 CW decoder and CQ CW contest

[Timothy Gordish]

This also was my first contest with my new KX-3.  I didn't use the decoder because I use mostly CW in my every day ops.  The interface with my new logging program with its access to DX spots gave me the most DXCC contacts ever!  I worked the world in couple of hour with only 5 watts.

This was my first time using CW, I only know the letters CQ 5NN TU and that's it! ( OK E also) Never been on CW before so all DXCC's were 'new'.
