SSB ops clear down to 7000 kHz on 40m, Grrrr

[Brian Carling]

There you go with the one size fits all 
blanket statements again.

I met with a group of Britiosh radio amateurs on my visit over there last summer, 
and I can ASSURE You that the love for CW is still quite strong among 
a significant number of U.K radio amateurs.

Funny, but when you want to work DX it is STILL easier to get 
a contact on CW than SSB most of the time.

Sorry, but as usual your claim is at best inadequate, and at 
worst, possibly deceiving.
