[CQ-Contest] Hallucinations

[Dennis Ashworth]

I thought I was the only one hearing CW after the event! However, on one occasion, there was a good reason. Driving home Friday before CQWW CW, I was listening to CW on the car CD player, warming up for contest. I think they were clips from K1ZM topband book/CD. Monday, I hopped in the car to go to work, and could hear CW! The CD was still in the player from Friday.
