Call me odd, but I prefer VOX for the ragchew and PTT for the contest. In the heat of the battle, the odd four letter word is spoken which one does not want going out over the airways. VOX in a ragchew makes it more like a true conversation than a round table.

Just my 2 cents

Dave, in SSB contesting VOX  and headsets is the preferred
method of operating. This keeps both hands free for keyboard use
when logging. Some probably do use foot switches for PTT keying.
But, I think the vast majority use VOX. When it comes to
ragchewing, PTT may be the preferred method. But I'm sure some
use Vox then also.
