[CQ-Contest] SS and other contests

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Zack

While on a camping trip last year, I decided to do the Sprint contest.  My 
keyer went haywire, so I tried using the paddle as a straight key.  Although 
I can copy 50 WPM, the fact I was sending at 12 made some guys slow down to 
that speed for me.  They were probably wondering who the heck was operating 
my station :-)  73
