[Elecraft] OT: Decoding high speed CW

[lstavenhagen]

Well, to take the other side for a moment, I promise I'm not a curmudgeon hi
hi. I'm a software engineer in my day job and am accustomed to embracing new
technologies when required; I have a lot of admiration for things like
MorseRunner and CW Skimmer & reversebeacon.net and so forth.

All that said, I did get my novice at age 10 when you only had 2 years and
that was it unless you upgraded, and CW and 75W input was all you were
allowed to use. So I started off pounding brass and somehow never went away
from it since. 

So all that's just a qualification to take my comments with a grain of salt
- it's my fault that I never learnt to use a paddle very well or how to
shield my rigs from computer RFI, etc. not the technology.

But once I get setup at home with either a Windows box or a suitable VM on
my mac, I definitely _will_ start using MorseRunner. I definitely need some
sustained practice at 30wpm + that I don't get to have as much as I'd like
just S&P during contests.... 

73,
