Comments:

Just a few QSOs to exercise my vocal cords.  If I depended on 
phone contests to maintain my verbal skills I'd be totally 
incoherent.  Maybe mute.  Luckily, I have my wife to talk with.

When I started ham radio I wasn't interested in or comfortable 
using phone so I worked mostly CW.  Lately I've 
largely switched to RTTY and digital modes.  I've noticed that 
since ham radio went no-code new hams who are phone-phobic like 
me go directly to RTTY/digital.  Sometimes exclusively.

CW contest operating seems more popular than ever, but I suspect 
that's due to the computer logging, RBN/clusters, callsign 
databases (country file, SCP, call histories) and pretty good 
code readers.  Some contests, like the CQ-WW-CW don't require 
more than a call sign for most contacts - click on it from the 
cluster, actually hear it (hopefully), recognize your own call 
(hopefully) and let the logger do the rest, including sending 
by macros.

See you in the NAQP-RTTY in February.
