Why weep? To me, it sounds like a lot of people got on and had some fun on the modes they felt were appropriate. Hey, at least they were actively on the air with Ham Radio. If I am going to weep, it's about all the licensed hams who are apathetic and never get on the air.

But yes, the best way to promote the more traditional modes is to get on the air with them and communicate our love for them with others. I like CW best because, for me, it's the most fun. But the other modes are also fun. And fun is where YOU find it.

Whoa!
That matrix of Clublog contacts made by mode really does make it pretty clear to me.
Probably the best thing we can all do to deal with this is to get on CW and SSB as often as we may desire to - to keep the traditional modes alive in the traditional band segments.
Tks Wes for adding to this conversation.
