Re: other people's copying
1. A couple contests delete QSOs for BOTH stations if copied wrong.
2. A certain number of casual operators won't ask for repeats when
they should (can't copy accurately at 30-40 wpm). Not much of problem
for "5NN5" but significant for "435 Q K9AY 61 GA"
3. Sending problems do exist. For example, I am suspicious of the
inter-symbol spacing of computer-generated CW. Not just weighting,
I'd like a little more space between characters. In my call, it feels
like the "9" and the "A" run together (kinda like slurred speech).
This is the same in CT and Writelog.
