I, too, have found the data showing what checks were worked to be interesting.
I am somewhat surprised to see the peak number occur in the late '50's. Mine
is '59 and I really thought most participants probably were licensed later
than that.
It would be interesting to correlate contest score with check. My guess is the
higher scores would be for those licensed in the 70's. Making some rash
assumptions about age at the time the first licenses were obtained, this would
put those with checks in the 70's in the 30ish age range. Since stamina to run
the full duration of a contest while keeping rate up and not snoozing on top
of the keyboard is a factor, I would expect peak scores to correlate with age
in the 30ish range. I'm (rashly) assuming operators in the 20s generally have
other things occupying their time and a predominance of 20ish operators is not
likely to exist.
Or, to lengthen the already long ss exchange, there could be a 2 digit
inclusion of age following check. Then, of course, there could be a way to
level the playing field based on age.... the older the age, the higher a
multiplier to the overall score... or we could assume "age and treachery
overcome youth and skill" and give the younger ops a handicap in an inverse
fashion!

Gee, and I thought that some ops sent a ck of 55 because it was faster. ;^)

I didn't realize from Tree's mail that there was such an overwhelming
condemnation of PJ1B's alledged use of a second co-located station to move
mults! Unfortunately, I don't have the CQWW rules handy here at work, but
I don't recall any prohibitions against using another licensed station to
move multipliers (or contacts in general) to the known frequency of a M/S
station. Similarly, there's no prohibition against videotaping an entire
contest and creating a log after the contest is over. May not be in the
spirit of what the contest sponsors intended, but it looks legal. (I'm
assuming that if, in fact, N3ED/PJ1 was co-located with PJ1B he was
properly licensed to operate from that location.) I haven't aked N3ED
about this yet, but I'll pass him some of the correspondence at tonight's
FRC meeting.
