[AMPS] CW amplifier progress (well, daydream progress) -- lon g

[Radiodan W7RF]

Hi Peter,

I think there are some who do as you suggest, many do not. Everyone's
operating habits and concerns are a bit different.
As a DXer and contester too, I sometimes find myself tuning around for long
or short periods and NOT doing any transmitting at all.
I also don't just come into the shack for an operating "session". I'm
usually in and out often and operate as I can fit it in.
I'm fortunate to have my main computer at my main ham desk so I can be
listening, working, and computing at the same time. I may look up and tune
around for a bit and then get busy with something else.

For me, instant on is the only way to go.
