[Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder

[Bill Frantz]

In previous years, I used the K3's decoder and it worked very 
well. But, for this contest, I bit the bullet and said, "I'm 
going to decode the calls myself to improve my CW." I had a lot 
of fun doing so, although I had to skip several stations that 
were sending above 30 WPM.

A small suggestion to those who know CW. If you are calling CQ 
and getting no answers, like late in the contest, consider 
slowing down so the CW impaired, like me, have a chance of 
making the contact. It may improve your score.
