Archie,
I'll agree, most of the operators I worked either slowed down for me, or
waited if I needed fills. It was just one guy who jumped the gun.
I ran my software at 22-25 wpm, although I used my ancient homebrew keyer
at about 20 wpm, too.
I found it very, very hard to S & P. Many of my contacts were where I
moved 5 kHz, called CQ, and moved again after the QSO. That worked really
well.
