Another (admittedly not so obvious) reason is that as you tune across
the band search & pouncing on stations (like I think Julian mentioned),
if you use CWr you could tune the band in the opposite direction from
others & still have signals falling in tone as you tune across them
(direction of tuning that I suspect we all prefer).

If you are tuning across the band & the same station keeps beating you
each time you stop to call somebody, this trick could help get you out
of "sync" with him & much of everybody else (probably even more so if
you are just chasing DX during a contest with a QRP Elecraft rig, or with
marginal antennas or whatever).
