For WPX and Russia DX or ARRL or CQWW, for me it doesn't matter, serial # or
not. If conditions are good and you are working Europe, especially, Russia and
Eastern Europe, its fast 36 - 40. If its all US or South America I slow it
down to 32 - 34. When conditions are more marginal especially with QSB, I use
28 - 30. Especially over the pole - 26 - 28.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial # contests, speed?
For contests like RDX and WPX where the exchange is a serial #, do you:
. Go as fast as always. (34-36wpm) , risking your qso partner busting
the #,but keeping rate high.
. Go a bit slower (30-32wpm), hoping the QRS improves the copy &
reduces busted exchanges.
. Send everything just as fast as normal (whatever that speed is), but
use brackets <<>> (a la N1MM) to slow down JUST the serial #
. Slow down only for obviously slow callers
. Something else?
Inquiring minds.
I don't want to skew the results, so I won't say (yet) what I do. (and who
knows if what I do is even 'right')
