[CQ-Contest] SS observations ( kinda long)

[bob.wruble at verizon.net]

SOOOOOOOO.......they are not going to change much of anthing anyway but if
they did this cud be fixed...we hear the same crap every year and no changes
are made.   some day this test (cw ss) will go away anyway either due to
lack of serious participation and/or the general demise of CW in general.
ie. when us old cw farts are pushing up daisys which ain't far away in this
hobby.......de bob
