>From 20 some replies, it does seem to be the First Operators....and
their "private contest". One said 500 members, by invitation, 
another said 1000. Some said friendly, others said snobs...
Each to their own....

My observation was more to propagation.....Everyone squaking about
poor conditions....About every mid-nite, on 40, ZD7DI is begging....
and of the "FOC's" there were a few ZL's and 9J2BO came right back to
my 40' inv V and 100 watts.

There's nice propagation, just no one on, unless there's a reason....

Thanks for all the replies.................
