[CQ-Contest] Year first licensed distribution from CW SS

[K4XS via CQ-Contest]

75-76..huge influx of Cbers from the CB craze of the mid  70s.
 
60s....all of the teen baby boomers that would have been  computer geeks of 
today, became ham radio geeks.
 
Today's ops are like many of us.  We want to learn a foreign  language 
(Spanish, French, CW, but just don't have the time.

This is  interesting..
the 50's & 60's the as they say hay day of the  hobby.

I think it would be interesting to learn what changed like  regulations 
or what when sudden spikes or drops happened what changed to  cause.?
Like 75 to 76 what made the big jump and then slow fall?

It  is very obvious that the influx of all the No-Coders don't do CW 
since  since 81 there is little activity.

This would be very interesting to  see if this was done with the phone 
weekend data. What differences  are.
