Hi Joe,
The good news is you'll have a lot less QRM during contests because
the skimmers won't reliably detect your non-standard Morse spacings...

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Spacing note for RBN users
Hello Pete,
Two questions.
Does Farnsworth spacing's have any effect? I like to run my letter
speed at 25 to 30 wpm, but the say "Word" speed at 20 to 25 wpm.
and
Varying spacing's, Like our club call W9ET if i run it "as is" I get a
LOT more repeats.
But in like N1MM+ if I use W9~e~T insert the half spacings, I almost
never ever get any repeat requests.
One More I havent tried it yet, but to emphasize the "T" in the call,
say I'm running at 25 wpm, but just for the "T" I drop to 20 or even 15
to emphasize that it is a dash. and make it really obvious the
difference between the "E & "T"
