I don't remember the reason they were stopped but I think, for the most
part, the NAQPs have taken their place. As I recall, CD parties happened 4
times a year , though. Most of them were open to ARRL appointees only
although I think at the end they instituted "Open CD Parties". Most of the
participants were Official Relay Stations (ORS) and I suspect that much fewer
guys are involved in handling NTS traffic these days.

I was trying to remember why we quit having CD parties. They were my
second
favorite contest.
Any of you old guys remember?
