[CQ-Contest] Contesting in QST -- A Better Idea (?)

There are over 160,000 ARRL members.

There are 25,000 DXers
 (maximum number of callsigns worked 
  in all of the recent 80,000-90,000
  QSO-count DXpeditions).

There are 10,000 Contesters 
 (number of callsigns in CN8WW's 
  25,000+QSOs in CW WW).

Counting QST pages for contests (announcements
and scores) suggest contesters have been far better
published (as a percentage of membership, even if 
all 10,000 contesters were ARRL members), than has
been the DX community.
