Why weep? To me, it sounds like a lot of people got on and had some fun on the 
modes they felt were appropriate. Hey, at least they were actively on the air 
with Ham Radio. If I am going to weep, it's about all the licensed hams who are 
apathetic and never get on the air.

But yes, the best way to promote the more traditional modes is to get on the 
air with them and communicate our love for them with others. I like CW best 
because, for me, it's the most fun. But the other modes are also fun. And fun 
is where YOU find it.

Whoa!
That matrix of Clublog contacts made by mode really does make it pretty clear 
to me.
Probably the best thing we can all do to deal with this is to get on CW and SSB 
as often as we may desire to - to keep the traditional modes alive in the 
traditional band segments.
Tks Wes for adding to this conversation.
