As often as not,  SSB will get through when CW won't.  FACT - not a typo!

When I lived in Michigan (closer to the magnetic north pole than Alaska),
the aurora didn't make a hoot of difference on HF between SSB and CW --
weak CW was still easier to copy than weak SSB.

As for propagation via aurora on VHF, the difference was startling.  The
rapid doppler shift rendered SSB signals unreadable while CW signals were
still quite readable despite the buzz saw sound of their signals.
