This may be true of contests that don't incorporate microwave bands, but I
don't think from my observation that microwave QSO's are going to change
much in contests that include microwave / mmwave bands. Most of them are CW
unless signals are really strong. And most of these contests award high
points for microwave QSO's. And with good reason. They are more difficult.
