Get ready operators - the 2019 State of the Hobby Survey is here!

I first want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone for the 
fantastic participation in 2018. Our inaugural survey in 2017 found 
around 600 responses but 2018 came booming in with nearly 3,000 
responses, voicing their opinions! A huge shout out to the blog / 
websites owners, podcast producers and large clubs for taking the time 
to promote the survey within their respective audiences - I could not 
have done this without you!

If you have not had a chance to see the results from previous years, 
they are listed here:

  * 2017 <http://www.radiosoth.org/2018/03/2017-state-of-hobby-results.html>

The survey started out in 2017 as simple curiosity. While browsing 
Reddit I began to notice several users posting surveys for highly 
specific topics. I made sure to participate yet often wondered what the 
results were. I then decided to host my own survey, to collect the 
opinions from the community on a variety of topics for comparison over 
the years. I wanted to ensure I made the results widely available for 
anyone to consume for whatever reason.

Thanks to feedback and inquiry from hundreds of participants, I've made 
a few minor changes to the survey. This year I've included some 
questions specific to 2019, which of course will change year to year. I 
hope to keep the core portion of the survey mainly intact (for that 
comparison) and continue to modify the annual section as deemed fit.

As always, please subscribe to my blog for email alerts on future survey 
and result activities.
