Fellow contesters,
We have a much bigger problem than the top 5 topics discussed on this
reflector ad nauseam.
Open the CQWW presentation Randy presented during Dayton this year:

um-2013.pdf
Go to slide 15. Look at the data in the first 3 columns. The future does
not look good for this sport unless we find a way to attract more youth to
ham radio and contesting, especially in the US.
Something to ponder during the off-season. At the very least I recommended
adding a special category in CQWW to recognize competition amongst the
youth.
