[CQ-Contest] Spots and Success in the WRTC - a little data for discussion

[Joe]

How about if the charaters remain the same speed,  but they are spaced 
farther apart,

slower WPM,  yet the charaters are the same.  would that effect  these 
things?

Ive done that many times when someone wanted a repeat,  I'd leave the 
charaters the same speed  but add extra time inbetween them.
