As the (maybe) holder of the record for most non-59 signal reports in a
contest (about 1600 out of 1650 in the 1988 CQWW SSB) a word to those
considering JUST DOING IT : it may be easy to program your CW making
machine, but programming your brain driven mouth to reliably say "FIVE
SEVEN" is quite another task. When that double multiplier answers your call
through the big Sunday afternoon pileup, good luck with keeping enough cool
to reply "Thanks, your five seven oh four".
