[CQ-Contest] Help on choice of CW Narrow filter

[Pedro Pedroso]

	Hello !
	I am a very active operator on the HF bands.
	I started CW only a few years ago and liked it so much that it is
	my most comon mode of operation today.
	For all this time I have never used a CW narrow filter, but it is
	not very pleasent to operate CW contests withou it, specialy if
	you  want to work 40m (it is complete caos).
	Since my equipment supports only one filter I must choose between
	the 500Hz or the 250Hz filter.
	At first I thought that the 250Hz would be the best one, but on
	second thoughts maybe it is too narrow and it would not let me
	hear operators that are not so well tuned on my frequency but
	still are trying to answer my call.
	I wonder what most of the DXers and Contesters use and why.
	All comments will be apreciated.
