He may have been thinking about Field Day, where clubs not all that into 
contesting would have three guys at every station -- the guy who did the 
sending, another to help him copy, and a third to log the QSO. I 
encountered this in the '50s when I was starting out.

Thankfully, our club included several fine CW ops, one of whom, W8FUM, 
was a serious contester who took me under his wing. Nothing I learned 
later was in conflict with what he taught me.
