Are there any HF events for which mode is not a factor at all? In other words, are there any events for which the real goal is to make contact with as many stations as possible and allow the operato
There are contests that let you use cw and ssb, the arrl 10m and iaru hf are two that come to mind off hand. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://www.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster nod

And this is an important difference between HF and VHF. Thanks for pointing this out, Dave. On VHF, one simply switches modes, not frequency. It's OK to be engaged in an SSB contest-QSO on 144.210 an
