More thoughts on this. The #1 team took and held the lead from the 
opening bell, but there was NOT a huge difference between the top 5 
teams, and their standings changed little over the 24 hours. The #2 and 
#3 teams were particularly close, and traded the #2 spot over the course 
of the contest.

I did some statistical analysis of biographical info published in the 
latest issue of the National Contest Journal (NCJ). Looking at the 108 
competitors on two teams, they average of their age at first license is 
15 yrs old, their average age is 46, and have been licensed for an 
average of 30.5 years.

N6MJ and KL9A, the apparent winning team, subject to log-checking, are 
relative youngsters -- 33 and 31 respectively, and were licensed at ages 
8 and 10.
