This may be due to my enounciation, but during the contest I was
sometimes told by US stations that speak slowly.  So I often try
to do so intentinally.  And in my experiance, comparing my voice
with voice keyer, voice keyer gets better callback rate than mine.
The tempo from the keyer is slower.  YMMV.
