I think its a bit unfair to pick just 4 out of your hat and with 3 well 
known as world class contesters and operators. Keeping in the same category 
then KC1XX should be #4.

Ive known Frank since he was a kid in HS (and he was driven even then) so 
that would make him the oldest by a little over John, and with Matt the 
young Turk who has done a lot in a short time and is LOS from here, I know 
him and his dad well. Im not sure where Tim falls in, he doesnt appear to 
age much (-;
