[CQ-Contest] Quite possibly the youngest team ever assembled!

[Leigh S. Jones]

Well, the West Valley Amateur Radio Club, WA6LXN/6, won the Field Day
4A class competition with a median age that was perhaps a year or two
less
back in 1969...

And we weren't trying to assemble a young group -- it just happened
that way.
