 I always have a keyer in parallel with the PC and always QRS when 
called by a QRS station.  Also on N1MM it only takes a couple of presses 
of the Page Down key to send the call and report slower, then put it 
back up again for the final TU.  I was surprised at the courage of a 
couple of M3s who called me on 3513 at a hesitant 15 wpm.

Enjoyable contest.
