The point was that because propagation is going to get better, more people
will take up contesting in the next five or six years.  The OT's will
still be there, but there will be more late-80's/90's, proportionally.
Hopefully they will hang around when the propagation returns to it's
current miserable state.

I smoked a 1/4-watt carbon comp the other day, does that count?
