Do you use logging SW complete with DX Spots and rig & rotor control, too?
See, now you can filter the DX spots so you only hear the ones you need. When
the SW detects a spot, it will tune your rig to the frequency and turn your
rotator so all you have to do is press a button or two (maybe three if you want
to send a "TU" and be polite!! :-) ). Then the SW will log it automatically,
too. So maybe if you're slick, you can completely automate it so you don't
even have to be there.
Sounds like loads of fun.

Some discussion on PIN QSK switches and the life expectancy of vacuum relays
that track dots and dashes would be useful and on-topic. How are people who
homebrew high-power HF amps handling this?
In closing, let me say that the only way to go in a CW pileup is with a memory
keyer. Mash the button and send your call without error. Mash another button
and send the exchange without error (assuming you get through). The reduction
in stress is priceless.
