You're right!
|

CW contests are easier and that's why I prefer them. They're enjoyable for cryin' out loud. I'd rather run a 10k at a full sprint than get serious about a phone contest. Too much work. The only thing I can't figger out is why they keep easing the CW testing requirements?--K7BG

Such surveys are, indeed, interesting. Yet many of the "comments" invariably turn devisive all too quickly.
CW versus Phone versus RTTY, & so forth. We've all got to live/work/operate in an increasingly tenuous
political climate, so it's to our advantage to be, as Paul Segal said, "balanced amateurs."
But then, look how I voted...one of those old-fart CW guys!

Where's the RTTY
|
CW by far is my Favorite mode. I enjoy the challenge of busting the cw pile-ups!
My second favorite Mode is RTTY!
#279 countries on RTTY!
The latest was Tromelin! Looking forward to add 3B6 next month!
Good Dxing to all.

It is always a thrill working a DX or beating a pile up with less than 100 watts and modest antennas.

Phone of course! Phone contests have always been more of a challenge than CW contests. The QRM, the catfights, the splatter; it's wonderful!
Why do you think more contesters prefer CW contesting over phone contests? They're easier!
While there are many great cw operators, the number of great (KW8N caliber) SSB operators pales in comparison!My vote for SSB! N4UK

I enjoy phone, and phone contesting, and a litle ragchewing, but cw is my favorite by far. Some might say it's my imagination, but CW ops are different. I'm not gonna say out and out they are more polite, but it sure seems that way. The guys in their 80's and 90's are incredible. They appreciate having a contact, they don't make tacky comments if you can't run 30 wpm, and their joy for the hobby is obvious. I usually find myself reaching to turn the mode knob back to CW.

PSK
|
|
PSK is the best thing that's happened in years to amateur radio. There is great software like PSKWin that's freeware and doesn't need a Pentium II to run it. Working DX is a blast. It's time for a contest with PSK. I now hear about 3 RTTY signals to every 10 PSK signals in the digital regions. PSK is so much better.

I much prefer CW. I snare a lot more DX that way, given my indoor antenna, especially running QRP
