I became a ham at (near?) the peak of the last cycle, in 1999. In retrospect, it was a great time to join this hobby. For about 3 years, 10 meters was the only band I worked... I talked to people on every continent but Africa with my little Radio Shack 25 watt radio. When 10 meters started to decline a couple of years ago, I found a new interest - QRP. And I had to switch the bands I work (to 20 and 40 meters), go a different direction in this hobby, and also modify my expectations...
