    Good Evening Pete

        Well I have 50 plus years in the game so I sure know about what 
your
        bringing up.  Heck Pete there are probably more seniors than those

        under age 60.  I know in the past two years I have just simply 
stopped
        operating in a contest 4 times just due to lack of stamina. In 
two of
        those I had over 500 Qs !  I am hoping that doesn't happen this 
coming
        weekend for ARRL 10 meter contest.

         I also know there are several sports who have a senior

        league.  I am open for just about anything you can think of.

            All the Best      73  BoB WA1FCN
