The TT Orion group on Yahoo had such a poll on going since 9/5/04. Although 
it asked Orion users, it shows a sampling.
As of now, it shows:
SSB 35%
CW 42%
AM 5%
FM 1%
Digital 15%

The ARRL poll has me wondering.  What is the distribution of operating
modes on this list?  Are we 80% CW?  Maybe some computer smartie can
figure out a way to construct a poll.  I'd guess mostly CW but maybe SSB
is stronger than I think.  And what of those digital modes?

Here's my HF mode breakdown:
  CW - 90%
  SSB - 10%
  All others - 0%

I listen to SSB more than I work SSB and it is a great reminder of why I
love CW.  SSB sounds too much like CB radio to me.  YMMV of course.

I guess my love for TenTec rigs is tied to being 90% CW.  If I were an
SSB jockey, I might be running a Kenwood or Icom.
