Chris is a major contributor at the N6RO multi station.  Not only operating but 
technical support at the station as well.  So actually he is quite active.

Well, N6WM did the QST writeup and he hasn't been a very active
contester so maybe he just didn't have much to say.  I could only find
two ARRL contests over the last year where he even submitted a log.  The
QST article says "full results" for the 2019 phone contest can be found
online, but the link is empty and just says that something will be
forthcoming.

So yeah ... pretty sad.  I seem to remember not that long ago somebody
from the ARRL saying they were going to rejuvenate their contesting
coverage in QST, but that clearly hasn't been the case.

Has anyone ever charted RBN activity over the course of a year ... with
an overlay for major contest dates ... and sent the results to the
ARRL?  An even better approach might be to set up a permanent multi-band
SDR that simply records wideband energy density over time.
