Do high speed ops prefer abbreviations and "cw words" or complete spelling?
E.g., would high speed ops prefer to hear "rcvr hr is old kwd930 es shud gg
soon es buy nw omni" or "receiver here is old kenwood 930 and should get
going soon and buy new omni"?  I seem to hear more words spelled out (and
correctly) as I strain to understand 25 wpm and up, but what's the
concensus?  I feel I can copy faster when the entire word is spelled out, by
the way.
