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.
