CW on six meters is live and well. Many use it to make weak signal contacts
where SSB is too weak. During the peak sporadic E season -- lots of CW
activity across the USA and some DX.
I hear very little CW practice QSO's. but it is a wide band - so lots of
room for that. For skip, the band can drop in and out rapidly - so CW
practice would best be accomplished by Line-Of-Sight, make a sked with a
local and pick a frequency below the 50.090 CW Calling Freq -- for freq

During contests -- lots of CW Contacts also.
