I used MixW this year for the first time at the Red Cross club station (W8PGW) for the November Sweepstakes CW weekend. Did not receive anything from anyone telling me anything like that. The stations that I know that we contacted during the contest told me later that we had a very good clean signal. Was using a Icom ic-730 and a Kenwood ts-430. Switched to the 730 because of the better filtering that was in it. I had asked this question because I want something that will decode and send CW and I just don't feel comfortable and don't like the sound of the AFCW that FLDigi and gMFSK do. I feel a WHOLE lot better direct keying and I am not a regular CW user. As for cwdaemon, I will have to look at the man pages and see what I can do to get it to run here.
