[UK-CONTEST] How many people go contesting?

[Peter Hobbs]

Thanks Derek, very enlightening!  I'd hazard a guess that these guys,  many 
in their early retirement years, are one of the more active subsets of 
calls.  Assuming also that not all of those in the callbook are actually 
RSGB members (and therefore eligible to use the bureau), the postulated 10% 
of contesters (if correct) is starting to look nearer 50% of 
active-on-the-air RSGB members.
