LOL John!:)
I wanted to be a broadcaster as long as I can remember that I have a memory.
Something about it intrigues me, partly how the signal gets from the station
to the listener.. but I love entertaining others while playing music.
For what it's worth, I started DXing early in life too. it wa
Paul, you're killing me!! :-D I just turned 61 on 2/1, and radio never
gets old. I think the reason that
most of us love this profession and hobby is the mystique of a radio
signal that has traversed the earth,
many times using the ionosphere. Whenever I hear DX, I get an

My Lady's youngest is coming out for the summer and we're considering
picking up a Grundig S450DLX and hooking it up to one of my homebrew
actives. He was _very_ interested in my radios when he was here last
summer. Big knobs for little fingers.
There may be hope for the younger generation
Some of kids (15-18) that go to our church did not know what AM is. FM,
yes, as that is what their parents have listened to (35-45 year olds).
They listen to Ipods.

That is interesting you mention that as Eldon Luoma and I have been
discussing that. However, like in Clatsop County, basically KSWB is

You are an exception. I know no one around here under 40 that listens to
AM.

Tell me Patrick that..., not un-like video games, at times AM DX'ing has caused
an increased heartbeat, higher blood pressure, fast-reflex knob turning (or
button pushing), working the different filters or sidebands to get the goods.

I think Paul Walker is in his 20s. He may be the youngest at least on
the IRCA list. There was a French DXer on HCDX (I think) a few years ago
that was about 14 at the time. If he is still active, he probably is
about 20 by now. But I have not seen his postings for sometime. But
younger DXers are r

I've posted page long DX logs on an infrequent basis and gotten not a single

David,
That first sentence is oddly funny but quite true. I had to look up
oligarchy in the dictionary. :) It meant what I thought it would.
However I'm not sure that the "oligarchical tradition" is just reserved
for the NRC. And maybe not even radio related hobbies, either.
