Preliminary CQ World Wide Survey Results Suggest Contesters Trending Older

CQWW初步调查结果出炉：参赛者年龄趋长

The CQ World Wide Contest Committee has posted the preliminary results of its September survey of CQ WW participants. The committee received 5117 responses from contesters around the world, the greatest number — nearly 2600 — from Europe. An analysis of the results showed that most survey participants were in the older age brackets and that there were not many youth participants.

近日，CQWW比赛组委会公布了他们在九月投放的针对CQWW参赛者的一份调查问卷。组委会共收到世界各地参赛者填写的共5117份问卷反馈，其中有多达2600份来自欧洲。调查结果分析显示大部分参与调查的人为年长者，并没有很多年轻的参赛者参与调查。

“This is especially true when we look at the age distribution in North America,” said the analysis, prepared by Doug Zwiebel, KR2Q. “There is very little survey participation in North America from those under 40 years of age.” More than 900 of the nearly 1500 respondents from North America were at least 60 years old, according to the survey.

分析员Doug Zwiebel, KR2Q说，“这个调查结果尤其准确，尤其是当我们了解北美的年龄分布情况时，北美参赛者中年龄小于40岁的非常少。”调查结果显示来自北美的1500名参赛者中有超过900人的年龄大于60岁以上。

CQ said the situation in Europe was “a little more optimistic,” where the age curve trended about 10 years younger overall.

CQ竞赛委员会相关人士表示，欧洲的情况还“更乐观”，那里年龄曲线总体上趋于年轻10岁。

“While the missing young people could be a symptom of the survey methodology, any look around a ham radio club meeting [or] convention reveals similar findings,” the survey commentary said. “Should we be concerned about the future of radiosport (and Amateur Radio)? What can we do to encourage more young people to participate?” it went on to ask.

虽然参与调查的年轻人偏少可能是调查方法导致的，但环顾周边的火腿俱乐部的大小会议，你都会发现缺少年轻人的参与。我们是否应该要关注未来的无线电运动，或者是业余无线电未来的发展了？我们要怎么做才能鼓励更多的年轻人参与此项活动呢？

The CQ WW Contest Committee analysis concluded that older-skewing operators may lead to lower operating times, increased multioperator entries, or eventual less overall activity.

CQWW 竞赛委员会分析指出高年龄段的参赛者可能使得通联操作频次降低，在通联竞赛期间要增加更多的操作人员，最终可能降低比赛的整体活力。

CW was far and away the most popular operating mode, at least among participants aged 40 or older. Nearly 62 percent of those participating in the CQ WW survey indicated they were either serious contesters or part-timers trying for the best score.

迄今为止，CW模式是在40岁以上年龄段参赛者中是最流行的操作模式。在接受问卷调查的62%参赛者中，他们要不就是比赛狂热分子，要不就是为分数而战的业余玩家。

“It was very gratifying to receive so many survey responses in such a short time,” the CQ WW Contest Committee said in summary. “The CQ WW community is passionate and engaged — both on the air and in considering the future of the event.” Other summary highlights:

CQWW竞赛委员会在最后表示在那么短的时间内能收到如此多的调查回应是一件令人欣喜的事情，CQWW委员会备受鼓舞并将思考此项赛事的未来。同时他们强调：

  • Europe is the leader for contest activity.

  • 欧洲引领着竞赛活动

  • Contesters are getting older.

  • 参赛者平均年龄逐年增大

  • There is a wide range of interest levels.

  • 各种不同的兴趣水平在参赛者中同时存在

  • CW is the favorite operating mode.

  • CW是一种让人喜爱的操作模式

The CQ WW Contest Committee said that a future blog post would discuss the responses to questions related to possible rule changes.

CQ WW竞赛委员会表示将在BLOG上讨论关于相关竞赛规则改变的问题。
