We went through several cycles where many of the contest ops were young. I
came up in the 1957 to 1963 era when QST said "Most of the awards were being
snapped up by youngsters." Young meant 13 to 20 with K5LWL being 10. By 15
or 16 many were experienced ops. There was little competition from CB, 2
meter FM, and computers (games and internet).
But there were always older, "wiser" operators out there.
What we need now are more young ops to go with the "older and wiser!"

it was something like 5200+ QSOs and 5M+ points. We entered the M2 category.
