Comments:
My first SCC RTTY, and I enjoyed it. There was more activity worldwide than I
thought there would be, so this is a contest offering plenty of action, even
when sunspots are low. I liked the exchange: four digits of the year first
licensed. I found myself thinking about the things I was doing when the folks
I was working got their licenses! Those amateurs licensed in recent years made
me feel a bit on the "old" side, too!
What are some data without a little analysis? The following table is based on
my log and shows the number of first time licensees in five year intervals
beginning in 1940. My sample space is rather small, I haven't statified it by
location (North America vs. DX), and many of the data points are the same folks
worked on several bands.
