Glenn,

1) He may have listened to you for the past 5 minutes, eeking out your call sign letter by letter?

2) He would call you because he wants to make a contact?

3) If a station calls me at 20 wpm I don't assume he can copy my exchange at high speed. If he could, why would he bother to call you at 20 wpm in the first place?

I guess it depends on which "end of the pipe" you look at the situation!

I really enjoy 30 - 40 wpm

If I had to run the contest at 20 wpm, I would quit.

So... if I am CQing at 30 wpm and someone answers me at 20 wpm, it's a
simple Shift plus two taps of the PageDn key to instantly QRS to their
speed.
