[UK-CONTEST] Re 1 CW Sending speed

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I'm with you on this one Andy. I'm still learning my Morse and won't  
be attempting an entry this weekend, but I hope to be listening (other  
things permitting) in order to improve my recognition. However, when I  
do start entering, it's going to be slower than 20 wpm (and if there  
is a QRS corral, I'll be in it). If those who are able to work up at  
30 wpm don't want us newbies on at < 20, then I'm afraid you're likely  
to find a dead contest in a few years time, because we all have to  
start somewhere and I'd rather send at a speed I know I'm proficient  
at, than bodge it up. Mind you, I probably wouldn't attempt to go back  
to someone at 30 for a while after that either, because it would be  
unfair on the op if I couldn't work them efficiently and I'd end up  
asking for repeats.
