[UK-CONTEST] 50MHz AC and CW

[cris at gm4fam.plus.com]

There seems to be an unhealthy aversion to using CW on 6m upwards Alex -
have experienced the same on 4m mixed mode events.
I find it incredible that folks will go to such great lengths putting a
station on the air and optimising its performance (particularly when
portable) then not use the one mode which will optimise their results.
