[RTTY] Re: Sad Comment on Operator Age

[Mark Perrin]

The key term is "magic" and I noted a number of EU ops reporting in the 
20's and 30's, and lots in 40's and 50's in JARTS contest.

Just means some are finding this perfect mode earlier than others, but at

I started RTTY and RTTY contesting in Septembe 2003; slow learner I guess.

RTTY rules.
