Topband: CY9C topband CW

[Wes Stewart]

 Interesting that their original announcement said: 
 
 "CW will be emphasized but with a good mix of SSB, FT8 (using Super Fox) and RTTY."
 
 If you look at Clublog stats, you'll see fewer than half of the Qs are on CW.  Furthermore, 53% of the Qs are with EU, and 37% are with NA.  I did a rough count once and EU had only 60% of the ham population of the US.  

Climbing soapbox:  I'm a member of NCDXF and two DX clubs that fund NCDXF and I have made separate contributions to them from time to time. I also support INDEXA and often make generous individual contributions to pending DXpeditions.  Recent events are changing my perspective about contributing before the fact.  I have no illusion that my minor contributions will make or break an expedition, but it's the only way I have to express disapproval of an operation.  Steps off soapbox.

except 15m, they have more Qs listed on digital than both CW and SSB
combined. Someone out there has their priorities all screwed up, as well
as piss-poor band planning the whole way. I won't be contributing to a
WA4DAN-lead expedition again after this one unless there are some changes.
