[CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

73,
