[SCCC] CW Mode in contests

[Bill Shell]

Dean,

When I operate from home, I typically only use a keyboard.  I have been 
only using a key for the last 10 years, or so.  During the CQP this past 
weekend, while operating at W6TK, I did use Dick's paddles instead of 
the keyboard.  I'm not really sure why I used his paddles instead of the 
keyboard.
