"In VHFNFD on 2m, more accurately. Entries and QSO numbers in other
contests and on other bands continue to grow."

Peter suggested that weather was to blame in my previous stats. I have  
therefore looked at two more (different) 2m contests, the May 2m and the  
2m Trophy. As before I have averaged the top ten QSO totals in the  
multi-open section. I have attempted to discount entries that did not look  
serious. In some of these contests there are no longer 10 serious entries  
and there I just used the average of those who entered. To reduce or  
eliminate the weather I have calculated a three-year moving average. Again  
figures run from 1997-2007.

The growth seems largely negative.
