I can not agree with this based on my experiance here in Texas. There
seem to be more folks on the band these days than in the 80's.
Maybe things are diffrent up in the Northeast where you have many more
folks to work.
Of course I do not have any sort of quantative thing to prove that and
I am not sure you can prove much by just looking at the numbers from
the contests.
The contest data is for one weekend and you do not not have any data
about what the conditions were like.
What do the QSO totals look like for all of these years?
