I've found QSK useful in handling traffic (but why in 2004 we still have a
cw NTS is beyond me) where the rx station can break me for fills
immediately, and in ragchewing, and calling DX in a pileup when the DX is
listening on his tx frequency. With QSK in that situation, you can
instantly halt sending your callsign if the DX begins sending to someone and
not be one of the clods who stomps on the first part of the dx's
transmission because he's finishing his call, unaware that the dx has
already begun a QSO. for some reason these ones always seem to be sending
slowly, have long callsigns and are loud, hi. guess that's murphy's law.
The only time I can think of when I might not want full QSK would be if I
were a run station in a contest.
