Hi Adam,

It depends on how you define "works better".

If you define "works better" as: using the minimum bandwidth, getting 
through the noise better, being decodable using using just a receiver 
and a skilled operator, without modem or computer, immediate copy with 
no delay for equipment to get synched even when the receiver has not yet 
been tuned to just the right frequency, then CW "works better".

If you define "works better" as able to exchange information without a 
skilled operator (or any operator) present, able to resend parts of the 
text that error correction cannot resolve, without the attention of an 
operator, higher actual throughput speed over solid paths, then the 
automated modes "work better".

For me, CW works better, because I enjoy being more a participant in the 
process, than an observer of machines performing the process.

Have fun with whatever mode "works better" for you.
