Milt, Who can work cw when the whole cw portion of the band is obliterated with splattering ssb stations calling CQ contest? I tuned around a few times and it was pitiful so I turned off 160. Why would any cw stations want to be competing with that mess? SSB guys were calling CQ right on top of PW0T on 1814! I'll bet 5R8FU was frustrated on 1834. Nuff sed. 73, Joe, W1JR
