![]() "KØHB" wrote in message link.net... "Jack Twilley" wrote 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. 73, de Hans, K0HB 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. Dee D.
