Guys,

Curt, but interesting comments...  I attended Dayton in 1999, and found I 
was one of the few "younger" men there.  I was 33 years old at the time.  I 
also finding it VERY difficult to converse with others in my age group on 
ANY amateur band.  I suppose now I can consider myself a youngster, at 
least as far this hobby goes.  This IS worrisome.
