[CQ-Contest] The best QSOs/hour on SSB/CW

Nothing is impossible, Champ...just keep trying and I'm sure you will break
300 mark on CW. If you have 15 minutes of over 300 rate, I don't see why you
can't make it. Or is one hour tooooo long?

I prefer bigger pile up, than I get higher rates. But, I don't get long pile
ups from 5B4 any more... A61AJ experience tells me that 300/'hr CW could be
reachable...

Bravo and congrats again, when are you going to reveal your secrets for SLOW
rates??

I still have problem with PED here, it´s impossible
to have a good sound from the Mixer SB AudioPCI
into my computer. Every sound seems to be bells...
Tried a lot of configuration with no chance to
get it right... G4ZFE pile-up software also can´t
work... Any sugestion would be nice...
