[CQ-Contest] Polling

[Pete Smith]

It's worth remembering that a poll of a little over 1000 people is
considered statistically representative of the entire adult population of
the United States, within +/- 3 percentage points.  You can imagine how
small a sample would give comparable results for the ham population of
700,000 or so.  That makes it pretty likely that very few contesters are in
the sample for any given QST reader poll.
