If it is, NCI should be raising holy hell about the
pro-code conspiracy behind all these
contests, right?


One NCI Director calls contests "electronic splat ball".
Actually, I kinda like that description. One of my grandsons
asked about contesting, and I used that metaphor. Now he wants
to multi-op with me in this years SS.

You could measure it yourself, you know. Work two similar

contests
(say, two of the QSO parties coming up soon). Operate solely

in phone
for the first contest. Score your points and keep track of

your
experience with notes or something. Operate solely in CW for

the
second contest. Do the same sort of scoring and note-taking.

Report
back to the group with your personal experience.


I regularly work both weekends of SS (CW one weekend, Phone two
weeks later). Both are scored the same way, each two-way contact
counts for 2 points (a message sent and a message received).
Personally I enjoy the CW weekend more, but invariably score
higher on Phone weekend, simply because I can copy CW at only
about 45 WPM, and voice at about 300WPM.

PS: If you don't like keyers, you ain't gonna make it
contesting.


Actually I find that CW is more productive and I'm not nearly as fast at CW
(20wpm for contest, 15wpm for ragchew) as you are but then I'm just running
100watts into basic wire antennas.
