[UK-CONTEST] QRS Contest

[Clive GM3POI]

Tom,
    Probably like handling pileups getting up to speed in cw contests is 
probably best dealt with away from the contest environment. Whilst on air 
contest experience is in valuable, I think it's better to have Daily 
sections using software such as Morse runner. When that noticeable 
improvement is there then move to the easier contests. 73 Clive GM3POI  ( 
i.e. don't learn how to handle a pile up whilst activating KP5)
