I tried working a German contest station on 2m CW. Waste of time - 
operator did not seem to even know what it was no mind being able to 
read it. I even called CQ on CW a few times - waste of time again.  :-(

The skills and knowledge of some of the VHF operators (even at big-gun 
contest stations) are woeful. The operator at one well-known Essex 
contest group was sure that I was in JO93 and took a lot of convincing 
that this was, to say the least, unlikely given that he had my callsign 
correct...
