[CQ-Contest] Use of CW decoders in contests

[Joe]

I agree, I have played with them, and find no advantage at all to using 
them anyway.  Yes I know and do code ok,  regular QSO speed 25 to 30 
WPM, Contest speed?  who knows he he he,,  but the level of ability to 
dig  calls out of pileups or deep in the noise, these peograms have 
nothing over a good ear.
