I think just about everyone would slow down for someone if they asked, 
especially Sunday afternoon.  But I wonder, how many would slow down to 5 
WPM?  Remember, that is the code speeed of the newbies...even newbie extras.

The exchange of KG4XYZ Nr 1234 B K4XS 62 WCF would take about 50 seconds and 
the return exchange would take another 50 seconds to receive....almost two 
minutes, if no repeats were required.  Honestly, how many of the big guns 
would do that in the first hour of the contest when they are running a 100 
hour?  Whatdya think?
