Each time I check, my average age (over time) is increasing by 1/2 year every year. Average over number (N=1) is 1 year per year.
Some folks say that age leads to wisdom. Others say, OFdom. Hams have been complaining about OF's taking over since ~1915. You can read about it in the old QSTs. They even complained that nobody was building their own equipment any more in those years. Plus ça change... Me, I like computers *and* boxes with knobs. 73 Martin AA6E On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 4:54 PM, Michael Walker <va...@portcredit.net>wrote: > This is a little off topic for this forum, however, the average age of you, > the ham operator, is climbing.
