No it isn't. It's related a person with a poor fist that cannot
control the
length of the dashes to match the dots they are sending. It has
nothing to do
with music; It has to do with reliable communication. I believe most
bug users
who tout the Mississippi Swing should QLF.
As pro Swing drummer I would say its a pity there is not a bit more
swing to many of the CW stations I copy. Many straight and bug operators
were recognisable by their 'fist'. Too many today use keyers that are
set too fast or have no rhythmic sense at all, running characters
together, which makes it very hard to copy.
Perhaps Elecraft could come up with QSD correcter.
