Hi all,

Out of curiosity, I went through my JARTS logs for the period 2000 to 2007,
and this is what I found:

Year              Average                   Median            Oldest
Youngest
2000              49.05                        50.0                 82
11
2001               49.91                        50.5                 79
19
2002              51.47                        52.0                  80
15
2003              51.42                        52.0                  81
20
2004              52.69                       52.0                  82
13
2005              53.54                       54.0                  79
14
2006              53.94                       55.0                  84
10
2007              54.08                       55.0                  82

Not very encouraging is it? This data was calculated on callsigns only
counted once, so may be more indicative than if I had used all the years
that were logged.

I guess it might imply that if the median age is around 55 now, and the
oldest worked is around 80, then I and many  others could look forward to
another 30 or so years of RTTY contesting!

Some other stats:
There were 420 unique callsigns.
63 DXCC entities.
Most common age = 55 (30 instances)
Percentage by country:
15% USA
10% UA3
7.3% UT
6.6%   SP
5.2%   I
3.8%  DL
3.6%  UA9
3.1%   OH
3.1%   VE

Guess we are just getting to be a bunch of boring old F^%%$S!!!

73 all
