[WriteLog] Speeding up CW exchange

[Bruce Meier]

Isn't it interesting that a ( > ) "greater than" sign makes the cw speed
decrease and a ( < ) "less than" sign makes the cw speed increase?

> The CW keyer can also be programmed to temporarily change the CW speed
during the transmission of a CW memory message. A "<" character in the
message causes the speed to step up one step and a ">" character causes the
speed to step down one. These characters should be matched in the message
(i.e. every "<" should have a matching ">") although the speed will revert
back to the normal speed within 5 seconds after the transmission of a CW
message with unmatched speed steps.
