[Moon] CW / WSJT

[K7XQ]

In my humble opinion, CW and WSJT needs to be separated because:

1. To simplify the contest awards.

2. CW contacts do in fact require more effort on the users part to
complete the contacts and
those stations should continue to maintain their "original" recognition.
For many, it took decades 
of very hard work, station upgrades AND MAINTENANCE ( 10 years for me
personally ), failed and completed 
skeds and waiting for the right moon conditions to finally complete the
contacts.

3. Serious discontentment is being generated within the EME community.
This doesn't help promote the HOBBY at all
but a solution to finalize this problem must be addressed immediately.
Especially since there appears to 
be no-one causing any intentional malicious destruction to EME.

I will not get into the topic of Deep Search or CW callsign lookup
tables ( used before digital modes were used )
as that has already been discussed at great length on the forums. 

I do want to thank the supporters and creators of the DUBUS activity and
contest weekends as well as 
stateside stations like K1RQG, HF net and netnotes, for continuing to
keep the visibility and activity 
up on EME. Its such a great experience every weekend I can get on make
some contacts.

"EME" is king !!
