Hmmm -- it's true, I had nobody say QRS, but I had lots of folks come back
at 10-15 WPM under my speed, and it seemed only prudent to match their
speed. I also found, as in past SSes, that often QRSing produced responses
where CQing at 29-32 WPM didn't, particularly on Sunday and during peak
times for casual ops.
