[CQ-Contest] Mode Specificity [was: WW SSB]

[Michael J. Clarson]

 David: "Let you use" is a lot different from mode not being a factor.
Separate categories for CW and Phone, different contact values certainly
makes mode a factor. In VHF contests, if I am having trouble getting thru or
getting a ststion's attention on SSB, I can just grab the key to complete
the QSO. Contact is contact.--Mike, WV2ZOW

There are contests that let you use cw and ssb, the arrl 10m and iaru hf are
two that come to mind off hand.
