Re: [CQ-Contest] Beginner Contester Flyer

[Joe <nss@mwt.net>]

I wonder how many actually did this?
I did in the days before memory keyers came to be. I had a Hallicrafters 
"TO" keyer, and I indeed started to do that so I could key and paper log 
quicker. was getting actually pretty good at it too. Then the MFJ 
Grandmaster keyer came to be and my whole world changed forever!
