Speaking of contesting and QRQ . . . one of the things I have wondered about is what is the correlation between contest score and CW speed? Has anyone ever noted speed and then compared to score?
There are obviously a lot of pitfalls to this - antenna, location, and op being the main ones. But I suspect that the winners do not regularly run high speed. Too much noise, too many ops who can't copy high speed, etc. And if you want the weak, rare mults to pull you out you need to be sure they can copy your dits as dits and not confuse them with noise bursts.
As for the chap who commented he routinely ran 40+ wpm, well, I guess he is one of those I regularly skip over when I'm working S&P.
