[UK-CONTEST] Keyboard delays - CC CW 15/6 (longish)

> You should also factor in those using QSK in their rigs.

Quite right Dave; "break-in" having been a high priority since my earliest
days (originally feeding the receiver from a 6C4, hung off the PA anode via
an inch or two of coax) it never occurred to me that anyone might consider
anything else.  Both '56 and '59 editions of the ARRL handbook have a range
of solutions to the problem, so it's always been popular.

As you say, without QSK you can easily miss the start of an incoming call.
But that probably does explain what I saw, and also why continuing with the
"5NN" bit is probably here to stay . . .
