[Mldxcc] CW Decoder for contesting

[JVarney]

That's great Bob! Contesting world look out, here comes the Decoder
Brigade  :-)

One other tip I'll pass along to you and anyone else using Skimmer to
decode: turn the RF gain down.  Computer sound cards generate lots of
mixing products.  I've found that turning down RF gain results in cleaner
decodes because there's less garbage floating around in the audio
spectrum.  If you see ghost signals -- if you're decoding at +700 hertz
offset and you see the same station being decoded at say +2100 Hz, that
means gain is too high.  This works for RTTY too.
