[UK-CONTEST] 50MHz AC and CW

[John Lemay]

I agree, I can't understand the aversion to CW either. In the 2m contest at
the weekend we tried some CW calls, I'm sure it can push an extra 100km over
ssb, but as far as I'm aware we had no takers at all.

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.
