I tried the usual SSA Results page, the SSA Homepage, Facebook searches, the Minden Website. Nada. P3 I am surprised no one is talking about how low the participation in the contest was, especially considering that Minden is such a good soaring location, 2 classes, 28 pilots only. It is not hard to imagine what the numbers will be like in 10 years, unless something changes. The drop in contest participation was already noticeable before the pandemic hit. My hope is that the numbers will come up again a bit after things get back to normal but in general, yes, it is a worrying trend. Uli 'AS'
