[CQ-Contest] CW with FLDigi?

[Gordon LaPoint]

Hank,
    I have not used FLdigi to decode CW, but cwget 
(http://www.dxsoft.com/en/products/cwget/) and Writelog rttyrite (in CW 
mode) both do a good job.  NO software is as good as a person, but both 
of the above can help a newcomer get started. Both of the above use the 
rig in CW mode with the audio out to the computer sound card.
