[CQ-Contest] Greying of SS CW

[sawyered@earthlink.net]

Its hard to argue that there is a big wave of us who were first licensed in the 50s/60s/70s are active contesters, however, I wonder how much the SS contest is representative of the whole contest group.  It seems in our contest club, YCCC, that there is A LOT less activity from us in SS than in CQ WW or ARRL DX.  Maybe SS appeals to an older crowd more, too.  No data to support it, just the obervation from YCCC that the group that is strong in SS is different than the group that is strong in DX contests.
