[CQ-Contest] Article on CW in the Wall St Journal today,

[Randy Thompson]

Doesn't matter whether you believe in them or not.  Fact is that people are
using them to make hundreds of CW QSOs in major contests.  This is not a bad
thing, but does explain why some guys have trouble when you ask them a
question or for a repeat.

CW contesting is fun.  SSB contesting is fun.  RTTY contesting is fun.
