[CQ-Contest] SS, SS and again SS...

[Ward Silver]

Hey Mats, don't go subterranean just yet!

 >  Just lately have been a lot of postings that, at least for me and 
possibly for some other non-NA, have been ?less interesting?. That is MY 
(our) problem - not a problem to the list as such

Actually, I think we have pretty much had our say about SS but I would 
like to broaden the discussion to your side of the pond.  A common 
perception here in NA, reinforced by photos and stories, is that EU is 
doing better with attracting new, younger contesters than we are.  One 
of the best things to come along in recent years is the EU-based YOTA 
(ham-yota.com).  Getting a similar group going "over here" seems to be a 
hard sell.  I'd like to hear more from you and others about EU attitudes 
and approaches that seem to be encouraging younger contesters to get 
involved, whether it is CW or SSB or digital, HF or VHF.
