Well said! That is exactly what I have been thinking. People are
suggesting too simple of a metric be used. I have no doubt the
number of participants overall is on the rise, but if average QSOs
per log and activity on higher bands is decreasing, to me that is a
serious problem which should be discussed. Can we find solutions
that work? I honesty don't know, but I think the issue deserves
attention. We'll have a tough time of it though, due to the fact
that so many only do 6 and/or 2 meters and many of those only
digital. They, naturally, have no interest in fixing this problem.
