[TenTec] Merger

[mcelmer1]

One of these days, I will turn on the transceiver and there will be no 
signals anywhere. Either the operators are very old or SK.  I run with a 
small group of about 15 or so and there 3 under the age of 60. Two others 
are 80+ and another just hit 93.

Does anyone stats on the ages of folks in the hobby?

Agree with Jim.
