Well I'm no spring Chicken, I'm 54 but far from being retired and having
grey hair although there's nothing wrong with that, especially the retired
part, hi! I've been collecting them now for a couple of years, got my
General license in February and am using a DX-100 usually on 160M. Picking
up a Johnson Viking Ranger tomorrow, hey it lights up!

AT least I know now, I'm not so alone in my age group ;-) Besides, I
think Brett/N2DTS in around our age group. Slightly but not only a few
notches either way of 50 years old. Brian/WA5AM is around the same
age... most of the other AM'ers I know are retired and beyond.

Gotta hand it to Jon/AD5HR... he's only been a ham for about 6 yeas...
and he's building rigs. He's talking on a homebrew rig, running a pair
of 807's modulated by a home-brewed modulator, running a pair of 807's,
and the modulator is driven by his homebrew speech-amp. That rig, while
desktop. probably weighs in at around 1.5 lbs per watt ;-)
