If conditions warrant, cw and ssb take 1st billing for me.

That said,  if the conditions are down somewhat and stations are favoring digital operations for its ability to get contacts made, and I'm trying to build a score, then digital it is.

I sure hope at some point we can put this topic to bed once and for all. Contesting is what each participant makes it for themselves. 

We must encourage participation, give high 5's for stated successes, regardless of what modes an operator chooses for their activity. 

Fwiw,

Just as a curiosity, and planning question, how many operators still use SSB/CW as opposed to digital during the contest? Have they gone all but extinct?  I remember 2020 was very sparse on those modes.
