Been contesting here for many moons, and for me, it's a hearing thing. I
think as people get older, hearing becomes more of a problem. Younger guys
have better hearing than us OF's.
Listening to SSB is very difficult for me, especially with accents, etc,
whereas CW is easy to copy. RTTY just lets me look at the stuff on the
screen. 73

I always thought people were either Phone ops or CW ops. I.e., they favored
one or the other based on their interests or skills and that was that.
But,
is that really true? Could there be other factors that influence our
preferred operating mode?
