Assuming some weird contrived scenario where I had the equipment to
send CW but not phone, it would depend what frequencies it worked on.
I think this is the nature of the premise on which the original post was
based.
Compare it to a similar situation, where a film camera user is debating
a digital camera user:
"If you came upon a drowning man, and you had to choose whether to save
him or photograph his demise, what kind of film would you use?"
Getting rid of CW is like choosing the kind of film.
Ham radio is drowning and the anti-code hams want us to think tossing it
bricks will make it float better. Dumbing things down is never an
improvement.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good
