![]() "Dee D. Flint" wrote 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. Do you run a frequency, or do you "search and pounce"? If you have a modest station and you S&P, then CW will likely be more productive because the gating factor is **getting the attention of the target station**. CW can be better at that because you can 'un-zero-beat' to stand out from the pile up and use other tricks and skills. However, if you're running a frequency, then the **speed with which you can exchange messages** is the gating factor, and voice is faster than Morse by quite a margin. The November SS is a particularly good event to compare CW vs. Phone, since the two weekends are close together (share the same general propagation conditions) and the list of participants is nearly identical between the two weekends so differing skill levels and station configurations are factored out. 73, de Hans, K0HB |
