Hi all: 
I was fortunate enough to have a contact with 4V200YH in Haiti last weekend. Their website summarizes the breakdown of contacts from January 29 to February 3 by mode (see below). 3875 of the 4329 QSO's were made by cw. Doesn't that seem to tell a story that should heard :-) My impression is that most DX is done by cw and if this is any example, it certainly bears it out. Just food for thought.
