[TenTec] wither CW?

[jerome schatten]

CW contesting has devolved to automaton vs. automaton. The most nimble
computer operator with the highest level of automation driving the key
jack (which drives 10kw erp) wins. Feh!

An easy fix would be to disallow any electronic devices for sending,
receiving or logging and controlling during CW contests. 

Hand key or bug/sideswiper/cootiekey/etc.only. The sender is the
logger. 

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear... when the
most skilled CW op won the contest!
