First we need to define what constitutes an "old duffer." To some of the
young people in this world an old duffer is 50 and up. If all the old
duffers defined that way roll over you QSO rate in any contest will be
less than 50% of what it now is. I personally love it when I work W6JOX
in a contest. It gives me hope for many more years in this game even if
it is not a serious effort but just playing around. Work him in JARTS
where the exchange includes age and you'll know what I mean.
As for me a 16 ounce Sprecher Black Bavarian beats the heck out of
Ensure.
