[VHFcontesting] Shortest time to 2m VUCC

[Zack Widup]

Having done Single-Op Portable QRP in most VHF contests for the past 10 
years or so, I can vouch for that.  When the other station can't hear me 
on SSB, I switch to CW and usually can complete the QSO if he could even 
detect I was in there on SSB.

If I am going to call CQ, it will usually be on CW.  I have a greater 
chance of being heard at that power level on CW.
