[CQ-Contest] Fw: Re: Assisted or not assisted question

[w7dra at juno.com]

it is pretty well known that i don't have an FT1000 MKIVIIX mod IV with
12 roofing filters, but I cannot see how anyone could work a CW radio
contest  without being able to send and receive the code backward and
forward. 

I bet i strain to hear at least 90% of the stations i work, especially in
a DX contest. are CW decoding machines that good?

It may sound heretical coming from an avid CW operator but I
categorically reject the notion that the term "assistance" applies to any
single-channel signal decoded off the air at a single-operator station.
