Hi Ron

This weekend the WAE RTTY contest is going to be on.  With the influx of
soundboard software, it's easy to get a setup going.  Working RTTY
contests is a blast with a capital "B."  73 and cul.

Fast CW will also probably increase the number of fill requests you
get, which pretty much negates the value of fast CW.  I'm probably a
bit too slow, as I still use a hand key, but I noticed I got very few
fill requests this weekend.
