Copy CW Signals More Easily With Two Tones

In CQ – January 2018 – Pete, N8PR (SK) wrote that you should set up your receiver to produce two tones 65 to 80 Hz apart to make copying weak CW signals more easily.

I played around a little bit last night with this technique, and it did indeed seem to work better than using just a single tone.
