[Moon] Future of EME

Hi Lars,

Maybe it is too late now. Too few CW operators left, but
as you well know from postings in the past I think the only
way for CW to survive is to encourage mixed mode contests and
cross mode QSOs.

A fairly large number of JT65 operators know CW well enough
to hear who is calling - and they often listen to the tones
if wsjt is used. If big CW stations would answer a CQ in JT65 
on CW, the chance for an answer should be at least 25 % provided 
the signal level is adequate (which it would be in many if not
most cases for a big station like you.)

If cross mode became used to some extent - and encouraged in
contest rules - CW would much easier survive.

The CW operators need not participate on Internet loggers. I think
CW operators should compete between themselves on who worked the
largest number of JT65 stations on true random. (No Internet,
no scheds, no side channel at all.)

"If you can not beat them, join them."
