[Elecraft] Subject: Re: OT: Decoding high speed CW

[Edward R Cole]

Most of my CW work is for eme where the signal is marginal "at 
best".  Without having a large SNR on the signal I have not found any 
CW decoder to work well (skimmer seems to be best).  On CW-eme the 
output is gibberish.

Inventing a digital code designed for weak-signal is way better 
solution (eg JT65) and it decodes down 10-dB weaker than most folks 
can hear CW (I need another +6 dB for human CW copy).  Good CW ops 
prefer CW as it is "more fun" than digital - no argument.

So, CW was designed for human decoding and that still remains the 
best solution.
