[Mldxcc] CW

I don't think anything pleases a hard core CW OP more than to hear an extra
class call on slow CW who is obviously making an effort to learn.

I use the memories in my rig for sending CW.  I tried to send something
during the CQWWCW test and I couldn't understand it myself.  With my
shoulder
surgery, I have lost a lot of my muscle tone.  I'm out of the sling and now
can send slow CW, but I doubt I will ever be able to run good scores
without the memories.
It will take some time and lots of rehab.

I have no experience on any program that receives CW, but as a good
practice, I never log any station I haven't actually heard the call.  The
internet spots have many
errors and the score will suffer.  I think carful use a program should be
OK for many situations, but just the act to trying CW on the air is an
excellent way to learn the code
by ear.  I have worked many stations at 7 WPM in contests.  Call them slow
and they will answer.
