But other than Field Day, How does one get clubs to try like SS or CQWW?

Most clubs that I know of are lucky to even get members to come to a meeting.

Yet the social aspect they do like. Like I said they like FD, and coming soon the annual Holiday Party.

But have them try anything other than FD and all ya hear are crickets.

My impression is that they focus a lot on club based contesting, which is
the way to go, in my opinion. Club, friends, group activities, etc.

I think a better question is ...

What are they doing in Europe (especially Eastern EU) that *is* attracting
so many younger folks.  They do come from a culture where ..in Soviet Bloc
days, amateur radio was more "radiosport" than a chatting hobby, but that
can't be the whole thing.
