[UK-CONTEST] Re 1 CW Sending speed

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

My apologies. In hindsight, that was a poor comment. I was picking up  
on Andy saying about working at a slower pace and asserting that I  
would have to do that too - perhaps I mailed to hasty.
I'm not suggesting that those at 30 won't slow down, but there was  
some suggestion of that in the mail, and I guess there will always be  
those that won't slow down, but I think that is the minority.
I appreciate that those contesting, especially in contest like CQWW,  
are mostly out to win (there are those that are out to add prefixes  
too) and wouldn't wish to slow down while they had a productive pileup  
running, hence my comment that I'd probably not call them at that point.

Once again , my apologies for a hasty post.
