[CQ-Contest] Why do we like our favorite contesting mode?

[Idle-Tyme]

Isn't that interesting?!

I'm 52 years old and been a ham and contesting since 1975, so thats 30 
years.

My contesting depends mainly on the contest also for which mode I run.

But a trend of my own is if I am serious in the competition I usually go 
solo and CW.

But if I am trying to get others interested in contesting, and or just 
going to hand out points, look for new countries, just plain have fun, I 
usually end up running phone.
