When I do CW contests (qrp only) I use cwget for the stations calling with
speeds above 40wpm+, helps to to lower frustration and spares time.
For them I adjust my speed sligthly higher then theirs and put a question in
full text behind the exchange.
Very interesting results and a lot of fun ;-))

Doesn't matter whether you believe in them or not. Fact is that people are
using them to make hundreds of CW QSOs in major contests. This is not a bad
thing, but does explain why some guys have trouble when you ask them a
question or for a repeat.
CW contesting is fun. SSB contesting is fun. RTTY contesting is fun.
