The FCC database no longer contains date of birth information.  Older
databases
may need to be used and cross referenced with all the new vanity calls.
Maybe a
survey is in order to get some of the data you need.

I look forward to the results.  I think you are correct in your
observations.  It will
be interesting to see some of these anecdotal, subjective thoughts
quantified in
a more scientific manner.  There is a lot of evidence of growth in the
contesting
ranks, so a thorough analysis may yield some startling surprises.

73 ES TNX for taking on this task!
