At least as far as 2m EME is concerned, unfortunately, having a combined analog & digital contest has virtually ruined CW. So many of the stations (FM 2 yagis to the big guns) have virtually abandoned CW in favor of making a lot more QSOs via JT65. My most sincere wish if that the ARRL would seriously look at splitting up the contest even if it's only one weekend for only digital & one weekend for only analog. The ARRL EME Contest always seemed like the pre-eminent moonbounce contest of the year. Now, I'm not so sure it's worth the time & effort to participate anymore.
