Contest after contest, my CW log fills with short call signs owned by people from the

We are the generation who "populate" the logs of the SDR/RBN/Packet/SO2R Type A operators
who are obsessed by "winning." I am always glad to work them, but they are few. Where are
the hundreds of new hams/contesters in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s?
If you look at the logs from the November Sweepstakes and look at the
checks - at least in the SSB leg - you will see a lot of contest
stations with a check of '00 or '08 or '10. Can't tell age, but there
is a fair amount of new entry.
