Nice bit of selective quoting, Richard. What I said in full was;

"In VHFNFD on 2m, more accurately. Entries and QSO numbers in other
contests and on other bands continue to grow. There is clearly a shift
in popularity towards shorter, more family-friendly events and away
from the weekend-plus-a-bit sessions. The overall picture isn't as
dire as has been suggested."

Your other examples, while interesting, are also of the full-weekend
type of contest which I admitted are on the decline. You seem to be
spending a lot of effort proving a point I already acknowledged.

The facts are the facts... when they're read in full.

Peter
