what type of Q it is.  My reasons include, knowing what the distribution of
FM vs. SSB vs. CW Q's in the contest.  I think someone also pointed this
out.  It's nice to know that the extra effort to put up that FM antenna
yields you some points.  Or to make sure you check some of the lower
frequencies for CW.  Or to know that you could only complete the Q on CW as
the path margin didn't allow SSB.  Another reason is for accurate log
keeping and QSL'ing.  I would like to know the mode so that when I send a
card, it can reflect the proper mode.  The FCC doesn't require you to log
anymore, but I still log just about everything, especially transferring my
contest logs to my station log.  That requires emission type.
