Please provide some references for CW contest participation is
declining. My recollection from various magazines is that contest
participation #'s are up for all modes ( no reference provided either).

Ah, the old CW snobbery! When is the notion that paddle or key
generated CW is superior to software and keyer generated code going to
disappear? You decode RTTY with software, don't you? CW is just
another digital mode. Software decoding has brought many new CW ops
into CW DXing and contesting. Software encoding is more accurate and
allows many ops to achieve speeds they could never otherwise achieve.
Perhaps you use a keyer for contesting? Many (most?) contesters do. CW
contest participation is declining. RTTY contest participation is
increasing. Software is every where improving our lives. Time to give
up on old ways and ideas and move into the future.
