I think my code speed went up with this one! :) This was my first
real attempt at a CW contest. Thanks to short, formulaic exchanges,
I was able to handle the 20+WPM speeds of the folks calling CQ. I
didn't dare call CQ myself, however, as there would have been no way
I could have copied someone else's callsign that quickly on the first
attempt! It was definitely fun, and it was definitely an
encouragement to increase my code proficiency. -- KE4PIB
