Well, the west coast just had lousy conditions in the 2022 June VHF contest.
In the east 6m conditions were exceptionally good.
From EM53 I had about 50% of 572 qsos on 6m on CW (analog-only category). I was
only operating part-time however and missed some of the peaks- if I was active
the whole contest I would have had a lot more SSB qsos. K5TR worked
130CW/1003SSB = 13% CW on 6m, which is a more typical CW/SSB ratio.
So people still get on 6m CW/SSB during contests, at least if conditions are
good. Around here that isn't true on higher bands- I found there was very
little non-FT8 activity on 2m, despite some very good conditions on that band
as well.

This was the summary for 22 hours in June VHF by 4 ops at super-station
N6RO running High Power. At least three are serious CW contesters,
including N6RO himself. In the write-up, WD6T noted "CW contacts
galore," with 12 CW QSOs, all on 6M. N6RO is about 90 miles NE of me.
