For contests like RDX and WPX where the exchange is a serial #, do you:

 

.       Go as fast as always. (34-36wpm) , risking your qso partner busting
the #,but keeping rate high.

.       Go a bit slower (30-32wpm), hoping the QRS improves the copy &
reduces busted exchanges.

.       Send everything just as fast as normal (whatever that speed is), but
use brackets <<>> (a la N1MM) to slow down JUST the serial #

.       Slow down only for obviously slow callers

.       Something else?

 

Inquiring minds.

 

I don't want to skew the results, so I won't say (yet) what I do. (and who
knows if what I do is even 'right')
