[CQ-Contest] RBN System?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I'm not aware of any minimum speed, but suspect that at slow speeds, 
hand-sent CW may vary from the ideal often enough so that Skimmer will 
get confused.  Joe, if you want to experiment and have the means for 
sending computer-generated 10 WPM CW (stored messages with perfect word 
and character spacing), try that and see if you continue not to get 
spotted.  I'd appreciate knowing.  I'd do it myself but my keyer died 
and I'm waiting for a replacement.

73, Pete N4ZR
