Almost all of the suggstions have been very good as far as making QSOs witm faster sending stations. My suggestion is practice with you computer logging program before the contest. Almost all of them

Hi Group, I played with my sending speed and dropped as low as 16 wpm and up to around 24 wpm when calling CQ. I put spaces between the elements of my call. I took the spaces out. No matter what I di

The big problem for us low power ops is that other stations inside the skip zone usually don't hear us. On 20m especially, it's almost like clockwork: I find a run frequency, and a few minutes later

Doesnt matter even if you run high power and stacked antennas. There are always a certain number of fools that simply are ignorant and will do the best to run you off the frequency. In WPX CW KG1D w

Hi all, what is the advantage of sending cw at speeds which are most likely beyond the capability of most cw operators ? Isn't a run station hoping for replies also from the occasional contester ? Or

Hi Martin, I typically send faster than the normal speed because it's one of the best ways for me to have a decent hourly rate in the contests like CQWW. In CQWW the exchange is easy to copy, but cop

I've never been able to understand it, either, but many consistently high-scoring operators seem to do all their sending  40+ wpm. They must figure the extra speed is worth the inevitable NIL penalti

Hi Martin, The simple answer to your question is "It depends". I will give the perspective of a contest opr. focused on making the best score possible. A top level op is evaluating everything, second

There were several ops in the WW that made in the neighborhood of 10,000 QSOs. All of them spent most (if not all) of their time well in excess of 30 wpm...you can see exactly how fast by reviewing R

Hi Martin, Higher speed = higher rates = more QSOs = higher score Simple as that. Might also help to thin out a deep pile-up (and make more capable people happy in the same time). Speed usually decre

All very well said, Bob. Another element of it is that contests like CQWW are so simple minded that for most DX QSOs, all we need to copy is the call -- Call History autofills the exchange. 73, Jim K

One more thought regarding the possibility of more NIL penalties etc.. During the CQWW CW using N4IQ @W7WZ, I ran for 2.5 hours at 38-40 wpm non-stop and was able to maintain accuracy. The higher the

I wonder about others busting the running station's call. Even at modest speeds, I frequently get logged as K0MA, etc. I don't think the log checkers penalize you if it's something close, at least no

Last I looked, nearly all of the major contests penalize the sending station for mis-copying any part of the QSO. Only the receiving station gets dinged if he misses something. I've heard some of the
