Been a ham for many years. I like Morse, but don't think other modes are bad, just like Morse.

I'm VP of a club that has had a lot of success, particularly at Field Day (we often win the most popular category). I find that young people are not interested in contesting. In particular, we put people on the air and they hear some of the poison, and they are out of there.

One reason a lot of people are older is that it helps to be retired. Who else has time to get on the air at noon if that is what it takes?
