As an Op on a number of DX-peditions ...
It's a simple fact that a major part of funding for trips
like the VP6DX operation comes from the QSL's the
group will receive. Many/most envelopes will contain
$1 - $5 or more.
The faster you make QSO's the more QSL's in the log
and therefore the more money you will bring in. There
are other factors involved, but this a significant reason
for CW ... or voice ... speed.
Whether you send 599, 5NN or 5TT can mean amount to
MANY total Q's. It's all about time.
