[CQ-Contest] SS and other contests

[John Unger]

I seem to remember that a few (or many, >10 years since time seems to fly 
by so fast) years ago that some of the better contesters got together and 
operated unannounced in the CW sprint using not only paddles to send by 
hand but also using paper logging. Bottom line: they still finished at the top!

YMMV (Your Memory May Vary...)...
