[CQ-Contest] A Buggles update - Morserunner killed the radio star

[Kostas SV1DPI]

The guys who make big scores use the following technique: they call CQ 
in their speed, let's say 30wpm. When one station replies, they write 
the call and press the PgUp button to increase the cw speed a lot (let's 
say 50wpm). They give their reply in this hi-speed. After that they 
reduce their speed to their standard (30wpm) and say TU. The new 
stations answer the standard speed. This way they gain a lot of time and 
they can achieve more qsos. I don't like this and I would like to see 
this to change. I am sure that I had watched a video with a guy doing 
this but I can not find it now.
