I agree. Our 7QP county expedition team uses a 1x1 because we all live
in CA, so it saves us time as compared to W6JTI/7. :) And in that event,
most non-expeditioners are probably using the cluster.

Gotta agree with Randy. Bill's analysis here confirms it to me that a
one by two is the way to go. My software is set up to automatically
start sending a call after four characters. With the one by ones,
nothing happens and then I realize that I have to hit the "enter" bar,
and that for sure takes longer than seven-tenths of a second. For my
money, a one by two or an easy two by one is the better way to go.,

The difference between a 1X1 call sent twice and a 2X3 sent once is
only 0.72 seconds:

This is assuming both stations are sending at the same speed. If the
1X1 station is sending at 38 WPM
and the 2X3 station is sending at 30 WPM the 1X1 station is the more
efficient and is avoiding any
confusion as to whether he has a 1X1 call (less common) or a character
is being dropped from a 1X2
call.
