[CQ-Contest] Contesting Popularity

[Joe]

That's pretty interesting!
I'm somewhat amazed at the almost level qso's in the CW results for the 
last 20 years pretty even.
I was expecting especially in CW a giant leap one year when computer 
capabilities happened. When would that have happened? What year?

And the Phone years the qso's keep climbing, to crazy levels!

So looking at that data, it sure looks like contesting is alive and well 
doesn't it?
