I don't find the age distribution to be surprising at all. Age data
from the All Asian contest exchange looks similar. Look at the pictures
from Dayton or any club meeting and compare them to pictures taken 30
years ago ... pretty much all you see are people that are 30 years older.
Somebody I was speaking to once claimed that the average age of ham
radio ops in the U.S. increased at least one year every 1.5 years. Seems
about right to me.

There is a new blog post with the first results from the CQ WW Contest
survey that was open during September 2015.

This first post cover demographic information about the responses. The most
striking finding is how old we are!
Comments and discussion are welcome.
