[CQ-Contest] my secret weapon for this CQWW

[w9xt at unifiedmicro.com]

In my cold basement shack in Wisconsin I find keeping my feet warm is
important to comfort.  The cement floor really sucks the heat out of them.
A layer of carpet  helps, but is not enough.

My solution is a foot rest made of scrap plywood. Besides keeping the feet
off the floor, it relieves pressure on the lower legs and keeps the foot
switch in place.
