SSB is not possible on rainscatter - the original analysis was wrong.
The 24 GHz PH advantage is entirely a contest strategy artifact: Great
Lakes operators line up on opposite shores for rapid-fire SSB contacts.
With EN/CM/DM cluster activity removed, CW leads by 16% at 24 GHz.
CW advantage is monotonically increasing with frequency as physics
predicts. No 24 GHz anomaly exists.
CW advantage scales dramatically with frequency: +29% at 10G, +48% at
47G, +221% at 75G. At 24 GHz the pattern reverses (PH wins by 8%)
due to rainscatter favoring wider-bandwidth modes. Above 122 GHz,
100% of contacts are CW — SSB can't close the path.
