I don't know about other folks that don't submit, but since the ARRL
stopped publishing contest results, I lost my incentive to take the time
to submit my log. At my current QTH, I'll never get into the Top Ten
which now means I'll never get my station's call in _QST_.
This is not a shot at the Top Ten folks at all - more at the League for
forgetting to acknowledge the hundreds of folks that made those high
scores possible.
Quite aside from the political part, it's interesting to see how many
folks submit versus what you see as serial numbers. What were the highs
for the Roundup this year? Over 2000? Yet last year, only 1/3 submitted.
That's more interesting to me.
But it's good to see the RTTY numbers climbing. :-)
