It is deserving of note that while logs are continuing to trickle in --
more so for the CW weekend than for the SSB weekend at this point -- the
number of entries for the 2017 CQWW SSB and CW weekends each exceed the
previous all-time record!

The number of logs submitted for each mode is almost QUADRUPLE the number
received in the late 1970's.  In 30 years -- 1977 to 2017 -- CQWW SSB
entries increased by 394 percent, while CW increased by 361 percent.

And yet the published writeup has shrunk the USA top-10 boxes to top-5 boxes. Ditto for the band breakdowns. Has the number of USA log submissions fallen by 50 % since the late 1970's ?
