[WWYC] WWYC Age Limit: Poll Results

[Hrvoje Horvat]

It would be great if this level of iniciative would show up also among other
members. We are all WWYC, it's not someone else.

I support OH1NOA, S56A & HA1AG nominations - these 3 guys are always around.
I know some others have been supporting WWYC like K5TR, G3ZAY, DL6RAI,
I2UIY, KY1V, K9PG, KL2A, K1ZZ, DL6FBL.... I sure forgot some people but
these are some of those I noticed thru the years...

We'll have to ask LZ5AZ to create separate page for those lidz!
