I made 376 QSOs in the AADXCW this past weekend. After removing all
duplicate contacts,
I came up with several interesting tidbits concerning the ages of the
Asian stations.
<19 3 (not including any 0s)
20-29 8
30-39 23
40-49 92
50-59 115
60-69 67
70-79 22
>80 3
Total 333
Youngest non-zero was 15, oldest was 88.
Almost 50% of the hams were between 50 and 59. Median was 50, and the
average age was 52.8 years.
Age of 53 was the most common age (17 hams), followed by age 59 (16 hams).
It would appear that in 20 years, when the 23 hams in their 30's today
are in their 50's, there will be
considerably fewer stations to work.
