I think most people try to use their actual year licensed.
That would be a good question to ask on the entry form. What year were
you licensed. It think we all know that new hams are hard to come by
and many are not interested in contesting.

Why are so many putting so much emphasis on the CK, as anything more than a
"randomly chosen two digit number that is consistently used throughout the
contest", having absolutely no relation to anything? ARRL has indicated it
will not enforce the CK as being "The last 2 digits of the year of first
license for either the operator or the station", and many have indicated
that they change their CK, from year to year? It certainly has little, if
any, bearing on when they were licensed?
As far as CW speed is concerned, when I call another station, I feel
obligated to try and match their speed. Sometimes this requires me to
listen to several contacts, before calling. I expect, and usually receive,
the same consideration, when I'm called? I fail to see any logic to calling
at a much higher speed, then having to endure several repeats?
In it to win it? Not a chance
In it to have fun? Most definitely
