[Elecraft] CW in Emergencies?

[Ralph Tyrrell]

reflection on Ron’s comments.

I was OX5BT for 2 1/2 years. Mostly used CW due to the
frequent arctic flutter making SSB unintelligible.
I remember a CW qso that I was having on 20M, we were
going along about 20 WPM when the flutter started.
I slowed down, he slowed down, we finished the QSO at
less than 10 WPM. The easily variable data rate of CW
allowed us to adjust for conditions and complete a
very pleasant QSO.

I made WAS from Thule, I wanted it to be all CW but
the CW ops in KH6 that I did work did not send me a
QSL card. 
Thanks to the SSB QSO with a KH6 I got my 50th QSL
card and obtained a mixed mode WAS
.
Thanks to Kevin, KD5ONS and the ECN for CW activity.
I also get into the QPR sprints,
http://www.arsqrp.com/ and 
http://www.arm-tek.net/~yoel/sprint200509.html and
others.
There is CW out there but sometimes the activity does
seem sparse.
