I just completed an analysis of the ages that I received. I was planning on
publiching it as soon as I finished it as I was thinking about the OLDness
of the RTTYers in specific and also HAMS in genraliazation. My averages
follow:
Samples (389) [I had 400 contacts]: (All Call_signs and their multiples were
used except for age 00 and 99 stations)
Mean Age: 53 (Numerical Average)
Mode Age: 53 ( The age that appeared the most often)
Median Age; Tie 54, 55 (The ages in the middle, #18 and #19, of the pack of
36 different ages)
When counting only each call-sign one time, the following ages are found:
samples (238)
Mean Age: 51
Mode Age: 53
Median Age: Tie 54, 55
Oldest Age 84, Youngest Age 26
