I was totally S&P. My logging program gives me 6.6 hours of
operation with 119 QSOs, so that's about 18 QSOs/hour. I had
plenty of time to copy the exchange given the number of times I
needed to hear the call to be sure I had copied it correctly.
This was particularly true for those stations that did not send
their call at the end of every QSO. I would guess that this
scenerio is why Jim observes the easy with which contest
exchanges are read by slow operators.
Remember, my goals were to improve my CW and have fun, not to
rack up the bigest score. BTW, with 2 QSOs on 160M and 2 on 10M,
I did manage QSOs on all contest bands.

FWIW, many serious contesters, including me, have found that
even when a station calls at a speed much lower than we're
working, they still copy our exchange when we slow down only a
bit, which suggests that either they've listened to us for a
while to copy our exchange before calling or that they're using
a CW reader.
