In a CW contest the computer does less than in a RTTY or PSK contest. There
is no CW decoding software yet written that decodes reliably enough in the
presence of contest QRM to be used without aural conformation, or that can
decode weak signals close to the noise at all. Computers are an operating
aid, but that's all.
I have been thinking of adding a facility to my software that records the
exchange and allows it to be played back, at half speed if required. Do
other programs do that?
