All,
There is some optimism in my log.
I'm 34 for a start and had a great time in the contest. Also worked UN7PBY
(also received a QSL card direct today) - he's 13!
Only two others younger than me:
KP4JRS - 29
YL2TW - 33
Looks like I'm at the low end of the average!

Not from the ones I worked. I'm going to disect my Cabrillo file and figure
out the median age. I'm pretty sure it is going to be in the 60s at least.
Think W1WY was my oldest at 82, and know I worked 1 giving 21.
But wherever they turn out to be, it's going to be a lot older than is good
for RTTY.
We need to work on getting younger guys into our mode.
