Bugs, and keyers for sending CW??? - that's *cheating*. If
anyone really wants to truly claim a mastery of the CW art
then they should really be using nothing but a straight key.
As for computers??? - they are meant for DSP IF processing
and supporting some really nice point and click graphically
driven user interfaces. With those displays you can easily
see and quickly find all of those CW signals that you can
work with that straight key :-)....
