Barry, as long as you think that way, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I wish to believe that if I can learn to use it, it will help.
I'm going to give it a(n) (open-minded) try.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Binaural (Stereo) CW Redux!
I do a fair amount of contesting and 99.9% of the time listen for callers
with a wide bandwith on my receiver. Unless two callers are on exactly the
same frequency or there's an AGC issue, I just don't have problems
separating the signals with my brain. I really don't think the binaural
gizmo will be of any use whatsoever for me. To each their own.
What I do find to be very cool in separating signals is diversity reception
with separate antennas feeding each ear, but I don't expect most hams to be
able to manage that with their station setups.
