I was curious as to how much effort our multi-multi Field Day team
should put in on digital (on HF). I grabbed summary data from the
last 20 years from the results articles. See the PDF with plots:

Fun to see trends prior to FT, the FT phenomenon, as well as the COVID-19 bump.
Looks like FT bit into both CW and phone, but more phone. Given that
the VHF contest QSOs were mostly phone, the FT impact should be
greater than for FD.
I should add entries and participants. The trends there are interesting, too.
Best regards,

ps. If folks want a digital free VHF+ contest, why wait for the ARRL?
Just organize something.
