Well, if we decide to work together on this, I think we will just
have to make the framework general enough to support everything
people want to work on. Personally, I would never use these features,
but my idea of working the CQ WW SSB is to make a handful of contacts
one evening then turn it off for the rest of the weekend!

Hmm. I'm a bit surprised (even shocked) to know that these guys
let the computer do most/all of the sending for them.

Personally, I would prefer to generate the CW as audio tones injected
as SSB.

Yep. That's something I was thinking about working on anyway before
this logging discussion got started.
