The FCC database no longer contains date of birth information. Older
databases
may need to be used and cross referenced with all the new vanity calls.
Maybe a
survey is in order to get some of the data you need.
I look forward to the results. I think you are correct in your
observations. It will
be interesting to see some of these anecdotal, subjective thoughts
quantified in
a more scientific manner. There is a lot of evidence of growth in the
contesting
ranks, so a thorough analysis may yield some startling surprises.
73 ES TNX for taking on this task!
