Hi Mack
I think SSB action helps get casual operaters involved.
And competitors looking for mode multipliers benefit.
It is true that CW is the mode that carries most of the Qs.

I do not think we try for a balance, just some more participation.
If you make Contacts on CW and SSB, you can split the entry into separate CW and PH entries.
Or, You can combine all the Qs for a Mixed entry.
This rule lets you compete in CW directly, and also enter a PH log too.
I like the split entry option, as it increases our "Logs Received" count, and lets a CW station go out an give out some PH mults too.

Your choice, just have fun!

Mike, NE4S

Subject: [SECC] CW and SSB Balance?

Rick and Mike,
 
Thank you for all your efforts and I certainly plan to participate both days.
 
A quick question. I plan to mostly operate CW and it appears from what I've read that most other SECC members do as well. Do we have a good balance for the SSB crowd? Should I try to balance my operating more to include SSB?
 
73,
