Default How old are you?

Just a question that has been rattling around in the gourd. What age
group are B/A enthusiast-type folks here on the Net? I know we have the
folks from when they (the B/A's) were the most active (and I'm talking
SX11 here), but I wonder if there's a large following of Boomers that
picked up on it too. I only say this because I don't see as many
30's-40's-50's people at the Hamfests and other gatherings as I see my
elders (Gentlemen, all). So the question bubbles up outta the tar? How
old are the folks on rec.radio.amateur.boatanchor?
rgds, Mark S.

First licensed as a Novice around '57 or '58 as KN5QWG, and then got
my General. Nowadays, at age 62, still hanging around all the slow
senders on the old 80 meter Novice band, 3700-3750.

I was using Teflon-coated wire before they thought to use the stuff
for skillets.
