• Here the fifth survey results:
  the poll was referred to "How long have you been in Contest"?
  We had 39 votes: 53.8% more than 10 years, 30.8% between 5 and 10 years, 10.3% less than 5 years, 5.1% beginners.
  It seem quite clear we are dramatically dying: in two solar cycles from now there were be no more italian contesters!!
  Good luck to the 5.1% of new contesters that will have the duty to keep both MCC and Italy names highlighted!. June 4, 2001
• Here the fourth survey results: 33 votes, 42.4% in favour of a accurate strategic planning, 30.5% in favour of a high pile-up handling speed, 18.2% for the best utilization of the station set-up, and only 9.1% for a station set-up knowledge.
  A natural observation arise: it seems that the majority is convinced that wherever site they would be called to operate from, they will get the first place, based upon their ability to handle the pileup.
  Will this ever be true? We will go more in deep through another dedicated survey!.April 29, 2001
