Since the recent thread about 'old' (er) hams, I was curious about 
what happened in the recent SS. Mainly becaues I recalled a heck of 
a lot of check numbers being in the 50's. So, out of 849 QSO's in 
the SS, here is the breakdown based on check numbers in the decades. 
A surprisingly large amount of hams licensed before 1950 and a 
surprisingly small amount of hams licensed after 2000.
Total QSO's =  849
Decade        QSO's        Percentage of Total
