Having done Single-Op Portable QRP in most VHF contests for the past 10
years or so, I can vouch for that. When the other station can't hear me
on SSB, I switch to CW and usually can complete the QSO if he could even
detect I was in there on SSB.
If I am going to call CQ, it will usually be on CW. I have a greater
chance of being heard at that power level on CW.
