In reply to EI8FDB:
Its currently running at approximately two CW activations for every phone activation, Bernard, but that is all bands and the ratio is probably higher for HF.
In reply to F6ENO:
I’m planning a series of SSTV activations just for the hell of it, Alain, but any mode in an activation is a good one as long as you can qualify the summit!

PS I echo Bernard, its not a CW versus Phone post, just an observation…I’ve been trying to get going on CW for 46 years and haven’t got there yet!
CW on QRP is probably the most efficient mode on HF. For phone we have quite many languages here in EU in addition to the international English, Germans and different Latin languages. I think there is not much activity on digital CW (PSK, MFSK etc), so there is still some work to do on that field to be fully SOTA QRV.
