[TenTec] QSK

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

I've found QSK useful in handling traffic (but why in 2004 we still have a 
cw NTS is beyond me) where the rx station can break me for fills 
immediately, and in ragchewing, and calling DX in a pileup when the DX is 
listening on his tx frequency.  With QSK in that situation, you can 
instantly halt sending your callsign if the DX begins sending to someone and 
not be one of the clods who stomps on the first part of the dx's 
transmission because he's finishing his call, unaware that the dx has 
already begun a QSO.  for some reason these ones always seem to be sending 
slowly, have long callsigns and are loud, hi.  guess that's murphy's law.

The only time I can think of when I might not want full QSK would be if I 
were a run station in a contest.
