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 do most operators now use
decoders able to take any speed ?
I helped myself with the callsigns from the cluster. In the cqwwdx contest
that's ok as the zone is known  and hopefully I realise that he is replying
to me.

I can copy  callsigns and exchange well up to 30 WPM and a bit more and set
my run speed to 22 WPM hoping for the quick guys to slow down a bit.
