[CQ-Contest] RBN System?

[Joe]

I'm using N1MM+ and a Winkeyer USB to send the CW.

First test was with the code being sent with a Farnsworth mode at 15 
wpm. (15 wpm letters, spaced so it's at 10 wpm) and after not getting 
detected went to stock mode and made no difference.  I'll just have to 
self spot in the Slow Speed Open.
