OK enough heard from the "foreigners". In a DX contest, what
Bruce says is generally true. If the guy can't listen to 3 or 4 rapid qsos
and figure out what he's going to get, forget it ! Just sending QRS
takes a lot of nerve in a pileup.
In SS, it's a different story - especially on Sunday afternoon when you're
lucky to get a 40 hour going. QRS appended to the end of the call in SS is
just
fine as it serves to reduce the necessity to waste time doing fills.
I also think you should send at whatever speed you're most comfortable that
does
not negatively affect your rate by keeping less skilled operators from
calling you.
I also would not automatically match the calling station's speed - unless he
tacks on a
QRS request when he calls.
I did have this happen several times in CW SS and it works well !
