I'd guess that 98% of my VHF/UHF operation on the 706 is FM.  On the other 
hand, 95% of the 706 operation is HF - I only use it a little for VHF/UHF 
FM, as I have other radios for my usual FM activity.

I'll work some 6 SSB when the band's open.  I'll hand out points in the 
contests if I'm mobile while there's activity.  But that's about all the 
VHF/UHF SSB I've come across.
