That's not completely accurate. The RTTY Roundup is sponsored by the ARRL. The 
NAQP is sponsored by the National Contest Journal. The ARRL is the publisher and 
distributor of the National Contest Journal. The NCJ editors and contest 
managers have independent editorial control of the NCJ contents and its contests.

The "CW contests are declining in participation" is a dubious statement when you 
look at the number of participants in the NAQP, CQWW CW, and ARRL DX CW contests.
