[CQ-Contest] Serial # contests, speed?

[jpescatore at aol.com]

I'll generally stay at high speed unless the caller is obviously slower. Then I will send their callsign back full speed and hit the PageDown key a few times before the variable part of the exchange, then back up. 
For information free exchanges, like CQ WW, I don't slow down. For NAQP, SS, FD and others that get lots of new or part timers, I don't speed up. On VHF tests, I send as if I was using a straight key...
