How old are you?
wrote in message oups.com... 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. There's plenty, if you define the boomers as those born between the late 40s and early 60s. Probably the majority on this group, as we are the most likely to have some sort of interest in both computers and vacuum tube electronics. 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. I'll be 49 in a few days. Although I'm not a ham, I've been to a few hamfests. I'd guess the bulk of the guys at the fests were retired guys, but that might only mean that retired guys have more free time. But it's my sense that younger people have less interest in vacuum tube electronics, and most of what interest they have is in hi-fi audio and guitar amps. Frank Dresser |
