There are a bunch of spots on 7010 which I take to be CW. My
understanding is the guy is a scientist on the island, so may be there
for awhile - but isn't particularly pileup-experienced.

I have heard ZS8MI operate on CW, very slowly, but extremely good. Despite
his slow CW he managed to control the pile-up and keep the QSO rate quite
high, incidentally, a lot higher than the T33C guy who worked (or tried
to) work EU on 15m yesterday.

Can anyone confirm whether the 40m CW by ZS8MI was for real?
