[CQ-Contest] Use of CW decoders in contests

[Barry]

I see no problem with using a CW decoder, until someone is able to run a 
200 hour using one :.)

I know several guys who used them as a crutch to get them started in CW 
contesting, and now they do well without them.  Think of a CW decoder as 
subtitles...
