As long as you are not taking contest credit for a SSB contact in a CW contest there should not be anything wrong with soliciting contacts on SSB. As long as the actual contact for contest credit is
While on the subject, all those hotshots that run 27,000 Q's before giving their own callsign are going to be explaining WKD B4 alot. I have even heard "KM0L sri wkd b4" "We did? Who are u?" "QRZ tes
