[CQ-Contest] CW works better!

isn't a better node!

        This is also true on the low bands.  Proof - compare alltime
SOSB records for CW vs SSB on 160-40 in the CQ WW records here:

http://www.cqww.com/intro.htm

CW and SSB weekends use identical rules and are held at similar times of 
year, and CW scores vastly exceed SSB scores in most categories.  Here 
are 160M comparisons used in our RM-10352 Petition for mode segmentation.
