As it is now, with two small kids, I don't have the time to devote to contesting. I do absolutely love going on the air after bedtime and chatting with other CW ops.

Which do you prefer?

I do POTA CW around 20 wpm but I am hopelessly bad at ragchew.

I like to see how far I can reach and with how low of power to do it. Outside of the other end’s equipment, I don’t really wanna chit chat. Just swap sigs, equipment, power, and QRZ?

No time for contesting? You can just put in a casual effort, an hour or two as you're able to. Or focus on sprints.

I prefer contests and that kind of contact. SOTA/POTA is generally short and sweet QSOs.

Completely agree! SOTA/POTA are the best chat: short but very polite.
