[UK-CONTEST] CW on V/UHF contests

[cris at gm4fam.plus.com]

Hi Alex

I just cannot find a correlation here between lack of cw and the
introduction of Class B - in fact I have worked many stations who would
have been considered Class B (ie G6xxx, G8xxx etc) on CW!

Sorry to say that most of the calls heard on ssb exclusively are
individual G3, G4 and M0s - (note, am exluding Club calls here).

So, I remain perplexed why some just high scorers just don't use the mode
(bit like asking a footballer to score a goal if he can only use half of
the field).
