[CQ-Contest] SSB Vs. CW QSO's in a Contest

[Sean D. Fleming]

I am not the greatest CW copier at all. I even have to use CWget to copy cy at speeds sent by contesting stations. But I look at like the subbmision of CW op K9LA with like 3,100 CW QSo's made in 24 Hours. Then I wonder well can you make SSB contacts faster than CW contacts and what is it I am lacking to make more SSB contacts. Is it Filters? Is it Large Antennas? Is it just the lack of fastness of talking.  Put some input in. I need some elmering so that I can win a contest at some time. 
My Shack here is Wire and 100W with a TS-570D(G) But I have been to a station with a 2el Quad and a 756 Pro. Results are still somewhat not the best yet. Also Interested to know what do you use to send CW and copy it head or computer. Tnx.
