There, I knew it reminded me of something.

Talking about recording: I had to wonder if anyone could really log 10 
incoming QTCs in real time, at the speed that some were being sent - 
each one instantly R'd and straight on to the next. It's not the Morse 
reading speed that's hard to believe, but the typing/scribbling speed 
required to get the solid string of 10 into the log with no time for 
'reading behind'. Is it real, or in WAE is 'QTC' a signal - at least for 
some people - to press the REC button?

The reason I ask is that, after 39 years, the CW contest bug has finally 
bitten! I'm listening and practising hard to get ears and fingers up to 
speed... catch you in a year or ten...
