I don't understand why PTT is so important. Wouldn't QSK
with amp be better? I've heard big gun contesters double
with inexperienced ops and then go on there merry way,
thinking they have a contact, but maybe not. I'm not a
contester but I do listen a lot. If has already been
discussed that foreshortening of the first character at 60
wpm would be imperceptible at 30 to 35 wpm (the usual
contest speed - go faster than that and you'll be very very
lonely). So, Why wouldn't computer keyed QSK with QSK amp
be the best contest station?
