[UK-CONTEST] 80m CCCW

[Chris G3SJJ]

I've got out of the CC habit in recent months so it was nice to have a 
few Qs armed with a glass of white medicine. So a few light-hearted 
observations -

- Interesting how many operators just use the F keys as opposed to 
proper keying with one hand and entering into the PC with the other, 
which is what I find easier. Great to exchange a quick comment here and 
there.

- Easy to identify the speed up/down merchants who I won't call, 
although I think a couple did get past the AVG Speed Guard. You're in my 
Spong filter now.

- Interesting to compare CC with the Russian WSEM events. Plus - They 
are much faster and slicker. Minus -  They are even worse at the speed 
up/down rubbish.

Overall, good to be reminded that LF/HF CW Contesting is still alive and 
well!!!
