Yah sure, If the station is still there so you know which way to nudge
it, otherwise its too late to make the contact before the station goes
off to another band or antenna direction. With HF'rs coming to VHF and
using DX chasing techniques of REALLY short calls, there's not time to
nudge.

And if its a radio that's upside down on CW you are done. Might as well
unhook the antenna and pull the plug.

As for the slowness of CW, listen a bit on the CW bands this weekend,
likely the CW stations will make more contacts per hour (if not limited
by slow computer logging programs) than SSB. Each of those buzzes is a
contact.
