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 ;-)
