Yeah, right... </sarcasm> ;)
I don't do contests, so I tend to take big contest weekends as weekends
for doing something else; the contest bands will be jammed with
contesters, and the WARC bands that are open will be jammed with
contest-avioding folk, so why bother with the radio? After all, the
contests will be over, and there'll be space on the bands, by Monday.
As a Morse beginner (primarily motivated by Summits On The Air),
anything from about 15wpm up is "QRQ" by my standards, and I won't
bother trying to answer anyone going much over 25wpm, even if they are
on a never-before-activated 10-point summit...
....and if I'm on a summit and have to resort to CW (and my Morse is not
the best, so I usually only use it when SSB isn't getting me anywhere)
then I'll most definitely ask for QRS.
