Did a quick histogram on ages received in JARTS contest exchanges. I
removed 00's, 99's, the guys who would only send me serial number 001, and
only count each call once (even if worked on multiple bands).

Youngest guy I worked was 22, oldest was 93, most populous age range was
65-69.

 Age  cnt
10-14  0
15-19  0
20-24  1 *
25-29  0
30-34  2 **
35-39  6 ******
40-44 13 *************
45-49 23 ***********************
50-54 55 *******************************************************
55-59 50 **************************************************
60-64 49 *************************************************
65-69 62 **************************************************************
70-74 46 **********************************************
75-79 30 ******************************
80-84  9 *********
85-89  3 ***
90-94  1 *
95-99  0

Incidentally... I am 48, and made my first RTTY QSO at age 17 with a
homemade TU cobbled out of Radio Shack parts, an Apple II, and a HW-100
(also had a real Teletype but didn't use it the first time on the air!).
After going away to college I did not get back on for RTTY till just 3
years ago.
