I have added to K9JK's data on log submissions, and put it on another 
group spreadsheet at:

I have breakdowns for UHF and Sept contests, and for Dakota, Central and 
Midwest divisions.  For the 10GHz contest I put in what I thought were 
the entries from the local group;  the ARRL database is a little flaky 
in returning results for 10G and I was a bit unsure sometimes separating 
the CO entries from the MN entries.

I annotated in color a couple of significant events, and put ??? for 
some interesting numbers that need explanation; having been inactive 
those years, I'm not sure where propagation events or major roving 
efforts are the cause.  Fill them in if you know what went on!  Also, 
maybe someone could annotate the 10G years and show where major roving 
was involved.

There seems to be no consistent trend for Sept and UHF, so I would guess 
the changes are probably related to roving activity and 10G Contest 
roving.  I do know that the drop from '09 to '10 in both UHF and Sept is 
going to be very large.
