The VHF contest is one of the few contests that allow mixed mode contacts.
Many times I will be calling CQ (above 50.125) and will get a response from
someone in CW. I find that quite acceptable and encourage it. Many stations
such as yours (and mine at home) are not that loud especially on SSB. I also
hear stations calling CQ in CW above 50.125 and don't find it objectionable,
although when the band is crowded, you will be covered.
