This year I decide to operate at 13 wpm in hopes of attracting more of the slower ops. But I think what it did was just cut my number of contacts in half. What I should of done was send at a faster pace like 22-25 wpm. The slower ops know who is calling and would answer at their best speed.
Yes. I ran at 23 wpm. When a station sent his call slowly, in M1MM I hit PgDn several times to QRS and match his speed. After the TU, I hit PgUp to go back to my original speed as N1MM sent my call.
I consider slowing down to his speed a courtesy, not a necessity. He probably can copy his own call at 23 wpm, as well as the state, which he already knows.
