Actually, I meant old-timer as far as the group goes.
I know that there are tons of old timers still around
the hobby (judging by the crowd at Dayton every year).

Wow. I haven't read this group in about 4 years (was a regular
back then), and it's rather interesting how things have changed

It's my understanding that shortwave radio itself has also changed
inbetween
the time I stopped listening to it (due to equipment failure years
ago) and the
time I once again had the capability to listen to it (more
recently).

I don't suppose any other old timers
are around??

It depends on what you mean by "old timers". If you mean on this
newsgroup,
then I'm not an old-timer, as I've only been on this newsgroup
recently.

If you mean shortwave listening, then I'm an "old timer" as I
started listening
to shortwave radio in either the late 60's or early 70's. I think
it was more
towards the early 70's as I think that's when I first regularly had
access to a
shortwave radio.

around early 1971, if I recall correctly.
