Because I like CW contests much, much better.

But, it's somewhat of a challenge and a thrill to be able to sneak my call in amongst the cacophony of would-be operators who believe that running 1.5++ KW to multi-element stacked beams and sending their calls endlessly resulting in just giant QRM on the DXers end. Yes sneaking in amongst this and working the DX station with my "mighty five watts and a cloud warmer antenna is both a thrill and a challenge.

As some of my friends who run a legal full gallon say: "Working DX with such a rig is like picking apples off the tree in the back yard."

CU on the next CW event.
