The TT Orion group on Yahoo had such a poll on going since 9/5/04. Although
it asked Orion users, it shows a sampling.
As of now, it shows:
SSB 35%
CW 42%
AM 5%
FM 1%
Digital 15%

The ARRL poll has me wondering. What is the distribution of operating
modes on this list? Are we 80% CW? Maybe some computer smartie can
figure out a way to construct a poll. I'd guess mostly CW but maybe SSB
is stronger than I think. And what of those digital modes?
Here's my HF mode breakdown:
CW - 90%
SSB - 10%
All others - 0%
I listen to SSB more than I work SSB and it is a great reminder of why I
love CW. SSB sounds too much like CB radio to me. YMMV of course.
I guess my love for TenTec rigs is tied to being 90% CW. If I were an
SSB jockey, I might be running a Kenwood or Icom.
