I belong to a number of these Email groups and by far I enjoy this one the
best. Reminds me of an old group of fishing buddies talking about the one
that got away and how many reasons that it did. Anyway, I was going to push
hard in this one but Murphy's law came in and took down my 80/40 antenna and
the wench next door started whining about her TV reception so I just sat
back and had fun operating 100 watts and part time.

My thoughts about the age groups in the contest. We surely need to attract
the younger crowd but the "BABY BOOMERS" are retiring and looking for a
hobby to pass the time so I think we will see a new group of older new hams
joining the ranks over the next few years. I have also found RTTY
contesting much less stressful than the other modes being able to sit back
and do much with just the keyboard and mouse. At 57 I am not among the
ranks of the "OLD TIMERS" but being handicapped I find RTTY contesting the
most user friendly of all.
