I've had similar experiences on FD. Some folks think they're
doing well to make QSOs on SSB at a certain rate with a beam and 100 W
transceiver, with an op and a logger. Exhausted after an hour or two,
they wander over to the CW tent and find me working
them at 2, 3 or more times their rate, with a dipole, "old"
transceiver, and no logger.

The reactions when presented with a manual transmatch were
priceless, too.

Yeah it is. I was at a FD a few years back and I fired up the "bug".
You
should have seen their looks of amazement. Had em standing in line to
ask
me questions afterwards.
