        Hello !
        I am a very active operator on the HF bands.
        I started CW only a few years ago and liked it so much that it is
        my most comon mode of operation today.
        For all this time I have never used a CW narrow filter, but it is
        not very pleasent to operate CW contests withou it, specialy if
        you  want to work 40m (it is complete caos).
        Since my equipment supports only one filter I must choose between
        the 500Hz or the 250Hz filter.
        At first I thought that the 250Hz would be the best one, but on
        second thoughts maybe it is too narrow and it would not let me
        hear operators that are not so well tuned on my frequency but
        still are trying to answer my call.
        I wonder what most of the DXers and Contesters use and why.
        All comments will be apreciated.
