[CQ-Contest] Unsportsmanlike?

[K0LUZ]

I agree we need to look for more activity,  but if this is a contest and
contest are there to 'compete',  a qso that can be completed in 18 seconds
(assuming there are more stations standing by or will be quickly acquired)
is better than a qso taking 45 seconds.  And since most of us are optimist
(there is another station standing by to work me and if it takes too long,
the station will tune up the band),  quicker qso's are better!

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave
up
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing
down or giving me the information I asked for.

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to
encourage more activity.
