[TenTec] CW weighting

[DAVID HELLER]

I find non-standard weighting not nearly as easy to copy - a different 
accent as it were.  Analogy:  These Indians who seem to infest call centers 
may be fluent in English but I might understand one word in ten.  The 
bastardized code may stand out - but in a negative way.  Just like a tone 
less than T-9.  Yes, stands out from the masses, but hardly something to be 
proud of.   K3TX
