CW?

Yes, has to be CW as low signals are very much easier to copy and I jsut can't be bothered with FT8 as it doesn't have the human touch. :-)

A fellow ham here in town has made 100+ contacts in ft8, and at the same time I try the band calling CQ and listen

In which frequencies do you operate?

I usual operate from about 50.086 to 50.100. Multi-hop DX tends to operate around 50.100.
