[Elecraft] Contest Reflections

I think a heads-up contester could pick up more points by slowing down
during those times when the QSO rate has dropped.  Better to call one
time at 12 wpm and work a station than to call 10 times at 30 wpm and
work nobody.  I've not heard this during a contest however.  Seems most
are only interested in collecting high-speed points and would prefer to
continue calling CQ TEST at 30 wpm with no answer.

Yea, I know speed changes are not always easy to do, but if it helps the
final score, I bet folks would find a way.
