I don't think any CONTESTERS think CW is obsolete! :-)

I used to worry about this type of thing as well. What would happen
if you were operating CQWW SSB and you stumbled across a multiplier
who was only working people giving 10-X numbers? The most elegant
solution to this problem was offered by N5AU himself, who explained
that "our" 10-X number was 5904.

Does anybody have an email address where I can write to ask about
lost CQ-WW logs? I don't subscribe to the magazine, but a friend who
does and says my 94 CQ-WW CW log wasnt in the scores and would have
been #6 for 20M single band. My QSL sent with the log was returned
to confirm receipt. Guess I can be added to the list of logs "MIA".

I felt the recent CQ editorial speaking of the demise of CW based on the
Coast Guard dropping it as a communications mode was off base. A local
government employee who is in a position to know such things has strongly
assured us CW is still very much a part of the U.S. military plan and
there's nothing in the works to change that. By "local government
employee" I mean federal government employee who lives in our area.
CONTEST!
