[Elecraft] CW skimmer vs. i/q

A great analogy is from Keysight.  In the lab I work in, scopes and 
RTSAs stream i/q.  Keysight software named Vector Signal Analysis takes 
the i/q and can sometimes provide more capability in signal analysis 
than the stand alone gear itself.  Tektronix does similar.  Raw, binary 
i/q is all you need, and I think the Beatles said more or less the same 
thing didn't they??  :-)  (Assuming love == i/q.)

Happy 2020,
