[UK-CONTEST] SSB vs CW

[Darrell G0HVQ]

Same here. Considering not bothering with the SSB event at all this year.

CW definately has the edge for us smaller stations, in CQWW CW I was making 
QSOs right from the start, whereas in SSB it was hard work for the first few 
hours (3 or 4 calls needed to bag a QSO in S&P), probably because there were 
so many people on and consequenetly a higher pecentage with higher ERP than 
me.
